    Description

      How do you get this condition?
      1) use an instance that is currently a slave
      2) stop slave;
      3) This instance will be the new master. Run some transactions.
      4) reset master;
      5) Run some transactions.

      Now you see this:

      show global variables where Variable_name in 
         ('gtid_binlog_pos','gtid_binlog_state','gtid_current_pos','gtid_slave_pos');
      +-------------------+-------------+
      | Variable_name     | Value       |
      +-------------------+-------------+
      | gtid_binlog_pos   | 0-2-240     |
      | gtid_binlog_state | 0-2-240     |
      | gtid_current_pos  | 0-1-2817039 |
      | gtid_slave_pos    | 0-1-2817039 |
      +-------------------+-------------+
      

      You can run transactions on this host, and the sequence of the gtid_current_pos will not move forward. The server id is wrong. So, if you backup now, using mariadb-dump, you will see the wrong values in the dump file. Example:

      mariadb-dump --all-databases --master-data=2 --dump-slave --gtid > /tmp/mdbdump/t.sql
      grep 'SET GLOBAL gtid_slave_pos' /tmp/mdbdump/t.sql | tail -1
      SET GLOBAL gtid_slave_pos='0-1-2817039';
      

      Workaround:
      Before backing up, run this command:

      set global gtid_slave_pos=@@gtid_binlog_pos;
      

      Now gtid_current_pos will be the same as gtid_binlog_pos and its sequence will move forward.
