This doesn't fix much. Next time somebody will need 61 second and you'll adjust to 120? SST might take many minutes and it's not a good idea to have every user wait this long.
Instead you should do what MDEV-8509 says. Add a line like
[ -r /etc/default/mariadb ] && . /etc/default/mariadb
then one can have a very personal setting of MYSQLD_STARTUP_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/mariadb
I was also keen on changing the default 30 secs limit to some higher value like 60 or 90 secs, so that it works for more installations by default. I will re-commit one. Best, Nirbhay
