what is in "aria_log.00000001" and "aria_log_control" and can i skip them from backups? as far as i see they don't contain any really needed informations * so can i exclude that files completly from backups * could MariaDB delete them instead of refuse to start in case the are damaged? see my last comment on the following bugreport https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1123557 140802 19:35:31 [ERROR] mysqld: Aria engine: log initialization failed 140802 19:35:31 [ERROR] Plugin 'Aria' init function returned error. 140802 19:35:31 [ERROR] Plugin 'Aria' registration as a STORAGE ENGINE failed. 140802 19:35:31 [ERROR] Aria engine is not enabled or did not start.
