Mariadb configuration is not loaded from my.cnf My mariadb configuration in my.cnf is not getting loaded for "log-error" and "pid-file". I have checked other configurations params are loaded.

[root@kvm10 ~]# cat /etc/my.cnf

But the configuration value for log-error &amp; pid-file is not picked by MariaDB.

[root@kvm10 ~]# mysql -e "show variables like 'pid_file'"
+---------------+-----------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value                             |

| pid_file      | /mnt/mgmt/var/lib/mysql/kvm10.pid |

[root@kvm10 ~]# mysql -e "show variables like 'log_error'"
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |

| log_error     |       |

[root@kvm10 ~]# 


Am I missing somethig or making some mistake. I have checked the files permissions in /var/log/mariadb/mysqld.log &amp; /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid.
I am having the same problem in ~/.my.cnf file (MySQL 5.5.5-10.2.6-MariaDB installed via Homebrew). 

Apparently it is a recorded bug in both MySQL and MariaDB:

Bug #84172    The pid-file value is ignored in the /etc/my.cnf option file
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=84172

pid_file in my.cnf ignored
