Hi Andy,

MariaDB error log:

2021-03-12 10:17:51 3078658496 [Note] InnoDB: Highest supported file format
is Barracuda.

2021-03-12 10:17:51 3078658496 [ERROR] Can't init tc log

When starting MariaDB I just get that first error message I posted:

Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with
error code.
See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Re: the original reboot, the system wouldn't respond when I tried to grow
the disk, sorry didn't capture any error messages at that stage but the
only thing wrong at that point was chocka full disk. Disk expand completed
successfully after rebooting and the new space is showing.

Cheers,
Andy
