| Description |
|
Setting a hosts name to include a "." character causes mariadb to truncate the name of certain variables at the first "."
pid will be some.pid when one would expect some.hostname.pid, this then affects the naming of other variables (e.g. logs) |

Why is it important to use the full domainname in variables? Which ones are important and why? |

Thanks for providing that red herring response. Despite the fact that it breaks expected behaviour viz. "If this option is not given, mysql.server uses a default value of host_name.pid" and that if we're going with bad arguments we might as well set the value to random and then just tell people they have to justify their use-case before it's fixed, I'll humour you with a response. log_bin_basename |
