Unable to start mysql getting Unable to lock ./ib_logfile0 error: 11

Today we are trying to upgrade our OS. But I was getting Unable to lock ./ib_logfile0 error: 11 .
I asked that the server be reverted back but i am still getting the same issue.

I am unable to start the mysql server.
I keep getting a Unable to lock ./ib_logfile0 error: 11 but i do not see anything locking the file.

Previous to that when the server started, it automatically tried to start the server and I got a

Most likely, you have hit a bug, but this error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.

I have enough space in my data directory so I do not know what is causing the server to not start.
help.

Check SELinux. getenforce if that’s not disabled or permissive, then that’s the issue. Run setenforce 0 to disable it.

Thanks I think it may be some corruption on the logfile. thanks.

Then you can simply remove the redo logs and start MySQL. They will get recreated automatically.
