Hi Experts, I am stuck for a long time now and completely out of ideas. I am trying to get mariadb service started however it does not and gives me the below error all the time -

I tried to completely remove mariadb and re-install it but no go, it fails with the exact same error all the time.
Appreciate all your help in getting this resolved and thanks in advance. |

Are there existing databases? Have there ever been? If not, you need to run | Code: | | emerge --config --ask mariadb |

Sorry; maybe I was unclear. I didn't ask about database servers but instead whether you have any existing databases, in other words, any on-disk data. What's the answer to that question?
