Comment 3 for bug 1191767

Actually, when I break it down, wsrep_recover's position (submitted via --wsrep_start_position) is *only* used when the grastate looks like this:

uuid:    9d241cd3-c46c-11e2-0800-81ab1e4b64e6
seqno:   -1

Why don't we make mysqld_safe check for this state (non-zero uuid and -1 seqno) before it decides to bother with wsrep_recover?

I would also submit that wsrep_recover should be tried when the grastate is simply missing, but galera won't auto-generate a grastate from only --wsrep_start_position yet (https://bugs.launchpad.net/galera/+bug/1112724).
