Hi,

I'm setting up a replication slave based off of MySQL 5.6.  There are a large number of tables (400K).  The MySQL 5.6 master takes around 10 minutes to start up, where the new MariaDB 10.2 slave takes close to 30 minutes.  What is making the startup take soo long?

In the below mysql log, you can see in the startup sequence between "Highest supported file format is Barracuda." and "InnoDB: 128 out of 128 rollback segments are active." the startup process takes the majority of its time:

Any ideas why?  I've included my my.conf file below.

Thanks,

Mike
