The MariaDB limits config file was erroneously put in /etc/security instead of /etc/security/limits.d. The fix is to simply move the file to the right directory. This issue primarily effects larger cluster setups but it's possible for a single ViciBox Express setup to also have this issue.
There will be MariaDB logs statings that they cannot open a table, tmp file, can't spawn process, limit reached, etc.
