Mariadb did it with the candlestick in the library.

Like everytime with natives, it was a race condition cascade of table locks followed by mysql suicide caused by bad cronjob scripts implemented by the user.

Will there be a follow up?

Random guess, a php error caused Apache to log a ridiculous number of errors to /var/log and on this system that isn’t its own partition so /var filled up crashing MySQL. The user wiped /var/log to free up space.

That's not far off of something that happened to me once a few years ago. My computer suddenly started struggling one day, and I quickly figured out that my hard drive suddenly had 500 gigs or so of extra data somewhere. I had to find a tool that would let me see how much space a given folder was taking up, and eventually I found an absolutely HUMONGOUS error log file. After I cleared it out, the file rapidly filled up again when I used a program I'd been using all the time. I think it was Minecraft or something. Anyway, my duck tape solution was to just make that log file read-only, since the error in question didn't actually affect anything else.

Plot twist: it was the user

That's not even a plot twist, that's expected user behavior

It looks like the OOM killer has struck again.

All evidence point to suicide.

Maybe it's a 'Windows' server...
