How to disable all MariaDB storage engine except MyISAM?

Question

(in my.cnf) I've tried default-storage-engine = myisam, skip-innodb, and commented out every innodb features, but none of them works

Solution

Maria can't disable the Aria/Maria storage engine as it's needed. You can disable most of the others via

skip-innodb skip-pbxt skip-federated

just type the following to show all storage engines available and it's current status

mysql> SHOW PLUGINS;

This is not correct.
