January 29, 2022

Recently on a VPS running Cyberpanel, MariaDB service failed with the error: Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning / bin / sh: Invalid argument

For VPS based on the openvz that are using old kernel you need to edit the service file to fix the problem:

nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service

Find the following value PrivateDevices = true and comment it by putting # before it so that it does not run.

Afterwards, run the following commands:

systemctl daemon-reload

and to start mariadb:

service mariadb stop
service mariadb start

then check its status:
