Hi,

I cannot do:

sudo service mysql start --wsrep_cluster_address=gcomm://

Becauase the /etc/init.d/mysql script supplied in mariadb-galera-server-5.5 does not take any mysql options.

The /etc/init.d/mysql script, in the start) function calls mysqld_safe like this , line 109:

/usr/bin/mysqld_safe > /dev/null 2>&1 &

However, it would be great if it could behave like this (From your yum repos) .. :
$bindir/mysqld_safe --datadir="$datadir" --pid-file="$mysqld_pid_file_path" $other_args >/dev/null 2>&1 &

.. which i think is the proper way!

Best regards
Johan
