service mysql start --wsrep-cluster-address=“gcomm://” doesn’t work on Ubuntu 12.04.
MySQL uses settings from /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Package: percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.5
Source: percona-xtradb-cluster-5.5
Version: 5.5.30-23.7.4-405.precise

Yup, the debian guys don’t allow command line flags to be passed through the init scripts (we asked).

Looks like ‘service mysql wsrep-cluster-start’ (or some variant) might work in the next PXC release
