What does systemctl status mariadb monit report for both services? What about systemctl restart mariadb.
You’re a lifesaver. It worked. Thank you so much @msaladna - any tips to prevent this issue from happening again? Or was it a weird one-off? Either way, thank you again, I truly appreciate it.
I fully support this recommendation. I have been bitten more than once by non-LTS versions of MariaDB. 10.7.8, although ‘stable’ had a habit of truncating columns or padding with zeros on a bulk import. Not something you find out until a client complains that half the content is missing from their migrated CMS.
It pays to read the release notes before updating to some particular version.
