Hi Simon, What's the full HA setup you're using here please? Would it be more appropriate for you to be using mysql-server-core-5.7 directly instead, with a manual configuration?
I don't think it's realistic for mysql-server apt/dpkg packaging to provide both automatic management of a database in /var/lib/mysql and also automatically support HA setups since apt/dpkg can only coordinate a single host at once. For that we have mysql-server-core-* packages with the expectation that users will configure what they need - either manually or with a higher level tool that can coordinate across multiple hosts. While I have no objection to fixing specific cases, I wonder if it's worth the maintenance cost of including this case if it's to support a use case that we cannot realistically support anyway. Your thoughts appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1889472 Title: mysql-server-5.7 postinst fails when in read-only mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1889472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
