Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Global Read Lock Active
An active global read lock (e.g., from `FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK`) prevents modification of binary logging settings to ensure data consistency during backup operations.
⚠️
Running as Replication Slave
If the MariaDB server is configured as a replication slave, certain commands to disable binary logging may be restricted to maintain the integrity and functionality of the replication process.
⚠️
Command-Specific Restriction
The specific command or operation being executed might have an inherent restriction that prevents disabling the binary log for its duration, ensuring all changes are consistently recorded.
