I'm running Fedora 24 and have MariaDB 15.1 Distrib 10.1.24-MariaDB 64-bit installed. I'm a non-root user, and I want to set up a DB of my own. So, I followed the instructions in the answers to:
When I execute
mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/dbfarms/mysql
It does finish, but gives the following warnings/errors (filtering timestamps out):
[Warning] InnoDB: New log files created, LSN=45883

I can obviously not control /etc/krb5.keytab. Is there something else I should be doing? Should I disable this plugin somehow? I'll mention this is not a production environment, and there isn't really any sensitive data that's going into the DB, so I can cut some corners security-wise if it helps.
