I hope you don't just edit /lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service as that will be overwritten on every package update. The correct way to do this is to use "systemctl edit mariadb.service" (or manually create /etc/systemd/servic/mariadb.service.d/foobar.conf) and put something like ,---- | [Service] | ProtectHome=false `---- into it. This will be kept on upgrades. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
