CentOS 7
MariaDB-server


 Description   

MariaDB-server RPM creates a hard link in /sbin/mysqld to /usr/sbin/mysqld.

Since the rest of the files are created with the install prefix /usr and systemd script are invoking /usr/sbin/mysqld, we don't need that hard link.

Close this, as is not a MariaDB packaging bug/problem.

RHEL7 - MIgration Planning Guide - File System Layout

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 moves the /bin, /sbin, /lib and /lib64 directories into /usr
...
To lessen the impact of this change, the previous /bin directory is now a symbolic link to /usr/bin, /sbin to /usr/sbin, and so on.

So, I cannot calculate the mysql basedir, in ansible playbooks, as the parent folder of mysqld binary anymore...
