Hello,

The error Error: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' is actually an error with the reporting system and not your configuration. The error that crashed the installer is in mysql/error.log which states:

Log file ./ib_logfile1 is of different size 0 bytes than other log files 18874368 bytes!

This is due to an error in zfs that breaks fallocate and is being worked on here:

I am marking this bug as a duplicate. If you believe this is incorrect or your issue is not fixed when it is released to Jammy feel free to change this and let us know.

Thanks!
