[debian-mysql] Bug#1009290: Bug#1009290: mariadb-server-10.6: Fails to start on live system

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hi!

I don't see anything new in upstream
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-28751 about this.

However we do have MariaDB 10.11.1 in Debian now. Maybe you Daniel can
for the sake of it check if the behaviour is still same on 10.11?

I would personally also be keen to figure out how to make the MariaDB
datadir be able to run off overlayfs or something similar so I can
implement my long time idea to have shadow upgrades where the old
mariadbd and old data is kept running and intact, and every new
version mariadbd would first run off overlayfs with real data to
simulate the upgrade before it is done for real.
