ViciBox 11.0.1 MariaDB Limits Bug

This bug affects ViciBox v.11.0.1 installations where the MariaDB limits config file was mistakenly placed in /etc/security instead of /etc/security/limits.d. The fix is to move the file to the correct directory. This issue primarily affects larger cluster setups, but single ViciBox Express setups may also be impacted.

Symptoms

You may see MariaDB logs stating that they cannot open a table, create a tmp file, can’t spawn a process, or that a limit has been reached.

The Fix

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Log in as the root user to access the # command prompt.

  2. Move the MariaDB limits config file to the correct directory:

    mv /etc/security/mysql.conf /etc/security/limits.d/mysql.conf

  3. Reboot the server to load the new settings:

    reboot
