[debian-mysql] Bug#1058706: mariadb-server-core: mariadbd fails to start on fresh install on armel

[Scott Barker]

For myself, I am not using XEN/KVM/Docker. I am installing this on a NAS 
device with an ARM chip and only 512M of RAM. I tried adding a 2G swap file, 
but it did not make a difference. I was able to start mariadb by disabling 
INNODB and using MyISAM instead with the options:

--innodb=OFF --default-storage-engine=MyISAM
