Today I wanted to restart mariaDB because I couldn't connect to the database anymore. When I tried to restart it, I got these errors:

From what I understand, the problem is that it wasn't properly shutdown. I already tried to kill the process by running kill 127990 but that didn't fix it either.

  • Is the mysql directory usually mounted? The message `device or resource busy` usually indicates that the filesystem is not available. So you might need to check all mount points and re-mount. If that doesn't work, a reboot might help. – eblock Apr 06 '22 at 09:51
