Logging fails totally after removing the log files

After removing the log files: debug.log warning.log err.log info.log I can't get the logging to work again. Even after creating the files again.

Before I did anything:

[root@tgw-qxdr3 columnstore]# pwd
/var/log/mariadb/columnstore

[root@tgw-qxdr3 columnstore]# ls -la debug.log warning.log err.log info.log
total 6112
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Sep 30 03:30 .
drwxr-x---. 3 mysql mysql 4096 Sep 27 07:54 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2076488 Sep 30 05:08 debug.log
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Sep 30 03:30 err.log
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2073658 Sep 30 05:08 info.log
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2072205 Sep 30 05:08 warning.log

Then I removed the files:
[root@tgw-qxdr3 columnstore]# rm -f debug.log warning.log err.log info.log

And restarted columnstore:
[root@tgw-qxdr3 columnstore]# mcsadmin restartSystem y
restartsystem Fri Sep 30 05:56:25 2016

System being restarted now ...
Successful restart of System

Here you would think that the removed log files should have been created again, but that never happened.

[root@tgw-qxdr3 columnstore]# ls -la debug.log warning.log err.log info.log
ls: cannot access debug.log: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access warning.log: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access err.log: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access info.log: No such file or directory

Here's the log configuration:

mscadmin> getLogConfig
getlogconfig Fri Sep 30 05:38:30 2016

And even after creating the files manually and a restartSystem, no logging occurs:

[root@tgw-qxdr3 columnstore]# touch err.log warning.log debug.log info.log
[root@tgw-qxdr3 columnstore]# chmod 755 err.log warning.log debug.log info.log

[root@tgw-qxdr3 columnstore]# mcsadmin restartSystem y
restartsystem Fri Sep 30 06:05:02 2016
