Hello team-

Quick question-

I recently just installed mariaDB 10.1.18 (via apt-get) and all went well, no issues..  Here is my galera.cnf file:

cat galera.cnf 
[mysqld]
binlog_format                   = ROW
default_storage_engine          = InnoDB
innodb_autoinc_lock_mode        = 2
innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog  = 1

wsrep_on                        = ON
wsrep_causal_reads              = ON
wsrep_cluster_address           = gcomm://10.10.10.104,10.10.13.2
wsrep_cluster_name              = soho_cluster
wsrep_node_address              = 10.10.10.104
wsrep_provider                  = /usr/lib/galera/libgalera_smm.so
wsrep_provider_options          = "gcache.size=512M"
wsrep_slave_threads             = 4 # Should be equal to the number of cpu-cores.
wsrep_sst_auth                  = "sstuser:r3pl1c@t3"
#wsrep_sst_method                = xtrabackup-v2
wsrep_sst_method                = rsync



I started the server as: galera_new_cluster and see no errors.  Syslog reports mariaDB has started.  However, I never see any messages with WSREP.



the database stat shows:

mysql -u root -p -e "show status like 'wsrep%'"

| wsrep_ready              | OFF                  |
| wsrep_thread_count       | 0                    |

The wsrep always shows OFF.  I have removed and purged any and all mysql, mysql-server etc three times and get the same result.  Is there something I am missing?

Thank you!
