      /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

    Description

      Insert "pid-file=/run/mariadb/mariadb.pid" into installed "/etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf" and the directory does not get created.

      "/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mariadb.conf" contains only one line:
      d /var/lib/mysql 0755 mysql mysql -

      Have to manually create and modify new "/etc/tmpfiles.d/mariadb.conf" to include the requisite "d /run/mariadb 0755 mysql mysql -".

      There are no instructions/notes/warnings about this - just the error message:
      [ERROR] mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/run/mariadb/mariadb.pid'
      (Errcode: 2 "No such file or directory")

      This was not a problem with MariaDB-10.3.28.

            Well something has changed, but I can't see what. The "/usr/lib/tmpfiles/mariadb.conf"
            file still exists (dated 05/05/2021) and now contains only the line for "var/lib/mysql". The expected "/run/mariadb" directory is now being generated correctly. The version of MariaDB has not changed nor has it been updated in any system using it since 2021-05-19.
