Resolved mariadb@.service - disabled

Dukemaster

Regular Pleskian
Hi at all,
Could someone please tell me what mariadb@.service is about and whether status disabled is an error or not?
I was not able to find any information on Internet about this service with "@"-char.
But I changed open_files_limit to infinity. That's why I came to this topic above.

~# systemctl list-unit-files | grep -E 'mysql|mariadb'
mariadb.service________enabled
mariadb@.service______disabled
mysql.service__________enabled
mysqld.service_________enabled
~# plesk db "SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'open_files_limit' \G"
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Variable_name: open_files_limit
Value: 1048576
~# ^C

Hello @Dukemaster,
there is nothing unusual with mariadb@.service disabled, it's the custom service used to run multiple instance of MariaDB on the same server.
You can find the service file in /lib/systemd/system/mariadb@.service
 
Okay, thank you @virtubox!
I expected this for the reason of well running mariadb service in general, but I wasn't sure about it.
Thumbs up for you :)
