Hello, I'm trying to setup a galera cluster on FreeBSD. I followed the instructions on [1] but every time I issue SHOW STATUS LIKE 'wsrep_cluster_size'; I get +--------------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------+-------+ | wsrep_cluster_size | 0 | +--------------------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) So, the cluster is not working. This is the configuration of the node that I want to set as primary: -----------------------------------8<----------------------------------- [mysqld] datadir=/var/db/mysql socket=/tmp/mysql.sock user=mysql binlog_format=ROW bind-address=0.0.0.0 default_storage_engine=innodb innodb_autoinc_lock_mode=2 innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=0 innodb_buffer_pool_size=122M wsrep_provider=/usr/local/lib/libgalera_smm.so wsrep_provider_options="gcache.size=300M; gcache.page_size=300M" wsrep_cluster_name="klaas_cluster" wsrep_cluster_address="gcomm://" #wsrep_cluster_address="gcomm://10.1.7.1,10.1.7.2,10.3.7.1" wsrep_sst_method=rsync [mysql] wsrep_cluster_name=klaas_cluster wsrep_cluster_address="gcomm://10.1.7.1,10.1.7.2,10.3.7.1" wsrep_node_name=box-hlm-01 wsrep_node_address="10.1.7.1" [mysql_safe] log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ----------------------------------->8----------------------------------- On the other two nodes the configuration is the same, except (1) only the second `wsrep_cluster_address` exists; (2) `wsrep_node_address` differs, obviously. Instead of using an "empty" `wsrep_cluster_address` I also tried setting mysql_args="--wsrep-new-cluster" in /etc/rc.conf without getting the desired result. The logs lack any relevant warnings or errors: -----------------------------------8<----------------------------------- 160602 07:59:44 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/db/mysql/mariadb1.box-hlm-01.klaas.pid ended 160602 08:00:34 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/db/mysql 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] /usr/local/libexec/mysqld (mysqld 10.1.13-MariaDB) starting as process 22580 ... 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Warning] You need to use --log-bin to make --binlog-format work. 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Using mutexes to ref count buffer pool pages 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Memory barrier is not used 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.2.8 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Using SSE crc32 instructions 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 122.0M 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Highest supported file format is Barracuda. 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: 128 rollback segment(s) are active. 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Waiting for purge to start 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] InnoDB: Percona XtraDB (http://www.percona.com) 5.6.28-76.1 started; log sequence number 1616955 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] Plugin 'FEEDBACK' is disabled. 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426899456 [Note] InnoDB: Dumping buffer pool(s) not yet started 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] Server socket created on IP: '0.0.0.0'. 2016-06-02 8:00:34 34426872832 [Note] /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections.
