Hello,

I have just upgraded our MariaDB server 10.1.17 to 10.1.18 and routinely ran the mysql_upgrade script. I am receiving the following:

"
[root@svr-h000239 databases]# mysql_upgrade -u root -p

I have tried:

• Running the mysql_upgrade script from the parent directory of my /mysql/ folder.
• Creating the slow_log.CSV and general_log.CSV files (they didn't exist before) and setting appropriate privileges for mysql user.
• Restarting MariaDB service.

Regardless of these actions, I still get a failed upgrade result.

Can't say I've ever seen this before following previous MariaDB upgrades.
