MariaDB Error 1278: Replication Slave Start Recommendation

📦 MariaDB
📋

Description

This error is a recommendation from MariaDB, indicating that when performing step-by-step replication using `START SLAVE UNTIL`, you should also use the `--skip-slave-start` option. Failure to do so can lead to problems if the slave's `mysqld` process unexpectedly restarts, potentially causing replication inconsistencies.

Known Causes

Omitting --skip-slave-start

⚠️
Manual Replication Control
The error specifically arises when using `START SLAVE UNTIL` to meticulously control the slave's replication process.
⚠️
Risk of Unexpected Restart
