service mysql start command is cleaning up all the files under /var/lib/mysql

Hello All,

We have 2 node Mariadb Galera cluster. Found out that mysql services arent running on one node hence issued the following command service mysql start. Instead of starting mysql services and joining the cluster mysql services cleaned up all the files under /var/lib/mysql. What i am wondering is why mysql is cleaning up all the files when issuing serivce mysql start. Is there some parameter that i set wrong or shouldnt i use serivce mysql start in galera cluster?

Following is the wsrep configuration. wsrep_provider = /usr/lib64/galera/libgalera_smm.so wsrep_provider_options = gcache.size=4G; gcache.page_size=1G wsrep_cluster_address = gcomm:zbxapp02 . wsrep_cluster_name = galera_cluster default_storage_engine = InnoDB innodb_autoinc_lock_mode = 2 innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog = 1 wsrep_sst_method = xtrabackup-v2 wsrep_slave_threads = 32 wsrep_sst_auth =replication:replication

{code}

In above zbxapp02 node is where mysql services is currently active.
