MariaDB Error 1371: Failed Purging Relay Logs
Description

Known Causes
4 known causesDisk Space Exhaustion
The disk partition where MariaDB stores its relay log files has run out of free space, preventing the server from deleting old logs.
Insufficient File Permissions

Corrupted Relay Logs
One or more relay log files may be corrupted or in an inconsistent state, making it impossible for MariaDB to safely purge them.
Replication State Issues
Problems with the replication process itself, such as a stalled or broken replica, can sometimes interfere with the proper purging of relay logs.
