I recently tried moving my datadir to a new, larger drive, in a RAID 1 enclosure. The method I used was this one, essentially creating a symlink in my existing datadir that instead pointed to my new drive, which all the current contents copied over to it.
That part worked well enough, but after I was done, MariaDB was down. It’s likely because I missed a step and didn’t realize that the db end of things needed some attention as well.
Here is some info about the setup:

This seems to just repeat over and over.
It looks like something related to “Aria” is an issue but I’m not sure what. A quick search elsewhere suggests deleting all aria_log* files, which seems innocuous enough. But I’m hoping to get some feedback here before trying that.
I have run aria_chk -r as recommended in the log, but I don’t believe it did anything other than list out the options and usage
.
