    Description

      On a pretty much fresh debian 9 install, the service fails to start. However when manually starting the daemon it works.

      systemctl status mariadb.service
      ● mariadb.service - MariaDB database server
         Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
        Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d

          Okay update; Now I'm back on Debian 8 and MariaDB 10.2 (from the MariaDB repository) starts just fine. So I suppose the problem was caused by me using the wrong kernel for Debian 9.

          Yup, it's actually the systemd that requires the newer kernel. It's not directly related to MariaDB.

          On a second thought, Debian Jessie is still supported distribution, so this needs to be addressed.

          MDEV-15502 might be a functional workaround, if tmpfiles where included in Debian.
