are there any known issues running MariaDB on RockyLinux 8.4?

hello -

i have recently installed MariaDB 10:5.11 on RL 8.4 and seem to run into some pretty mysterious 'occasional' errors.

for instance, the last couple of days I see messages like this:

ERROR 1053 (08S01) at line 110: Server shutdown in progress

ERROR 2006      (HY000) at line 281: MySQL server has gone away
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
 

here are the results of "systemctl status mariadb.service;:

so then i added this to my:cnf and restarted:

[mariadb]
log_error=/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.err
 

and here are the results from "/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.err":

any suggestions why these mysterious errors are happening? i am starting to wonder if MariadDB fully supports RL or not.

or is there something else i should be monitoring for?

here is how i installed:

wget https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup  ;
  
chmod +x mariadb_repo_setup  ;
 
 ###  When running the mariadb_repo_setup script, you can tell it what OS and version to use and then it will skip trying to detect the OS you are running:
./mariadb_repo_setup --os-type=rhel --os-version=8      --mariadb-server-version="mariadb-10.5"  ;   

thank you all very much.
