why are you bothering with dumps?
this is not postgresql!

* stop mysqld on both machines
* rsync --force --delete-after --devices --specials -tPrlHpogEAX 
root@oldserver:/mdatadir/ /datadir/
* start mariadb on the new server
* mysql_upgrade
* done

and to save time use the rsync twice
a hot one while the old server is running and after stop the
old one a seond time to get the diffs quickly
