MariaDB Error 1373: Missing Binary Log File
Description
This error signifies that the MariaDB server cannot locate a binary log file that is referenced in its binary log index. It typically arises during replication startup, point-in-time recovery attempts, or when executing commands that rely on the binlog sequence. The server fails to process transactions or synchronize data because a required log file is inaccessible or no longer exists.
Error Message
