 Afaik service mysql always has been silent about errors (eg innodb log file s=
 izes don't match etc) due to the way the daemon is started, this should be t=
 he same with mysql55. I remember missing a warning about innodb not working m=
 any years ago since it was buried in MySQL error log
 
 So improving this - also for the MySQL port - would be great, but might be o=
 utside of the scope of this PR.
