[mythtv-users] f26 mariadb.service failed after multi-package update

[John Pilkington]

sysstemctl | grep maria gives

● mariadb.service 
                                loaded failed failed    MariaDB 10.1 
database server

There was a 'normal shutdown' of version 10.1.29

version 10.1.30 reports:

2018-01-24 13:55:42 140690185448192 [ERROR] mysqld: Can't create/write

2018-01-24 13:55:42 140690185448192 [ERROR] Can't start server: can't

I reinstalled and it failed again.
