Fixed In Version:	mariadb-galera-5.5.41-3.el7ost
Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Previously, a call to the "sed" command within mysqld_safe.sh which was used to certain command line arguments failed to accommodate arguments which included a slash, such as the paths to the SSL key and certificate files to pass through this function. As a consequence, the mysqld_safe.sh script produced warnings of the form "unknown option to `s'". The script continued to work correctly otherwise as these arguments are not actually needed in this specific context. With this update, the call to sed has been corrected such that the SSL arguments which include slashes are properly interpreted. As a result, the warnings regarding sed are now resolved.

Description Ryan O'Hara 2014-08-26 12:22:09 EDT

The mysqld_safe script that is used to start mariadb has bad delimeter for sed command in parse_arguments(). When the socket.ssl_cert and socket.ssl_key options are passed, mysqld_safe will generate the following errors:

Aug 26 11:11:31 mesa-virt-18.lab.msp.redhat.com mysqld_safe[23525]: sed: -e expression #1, char 26: unknown option to `s'
Aug 26 11:11:31 mesa-virt-18.lab.msp.redhat.com mysqld_safe[23525]: sed: -e expression #1, char 25: unknown option to `s'

It seems that sed has a problem here since it is using "/" as a delimeter and both socket.ssl_cert and socket.ssl_key take full paths, which of course include "/" characters.

Fix is to simply change:

arg=`echo $arg | sed "s/^$optname/$optname_subst/"`

to

arg=`echo $arg | sed "s|^$optname|$optname_subst|"`

Note that this error seems completely harmless. In my testing, the ssl_cert and ssl_key are set correctly even when the error occurs.
