Is MySQL service crashing & giving signal 11 error?

I’ve a small app running on a raspberry Pi. Has been for over 3 years now. It suddently stopped working and I narrowed down the issue to MySQL.

Attempting to start the service seemingly fails. Even when I’ve set the innodb_force_recovery to 6.

I’ve given up on this instance of the data. All I’m trying to do now is to take a dump and then restore this in a new instance. However I’m (obviously) unable to use mysqldump if MySQL isn’t running!

Any advice on how I can recover the data?

ubuntu@ubuntu:/etc/mysql$ cat my.cnf
#
# The MySQL database server configuration file.
#
# You can copy this to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
# 
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
#
# For explanations see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html

#
# * IMPORTANT: Additional settings that can override those from this file!
#   The files must end with '.cnf', otherwise they'll be ignored.

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