innodb_file_per_table default setting in the online documentation

 

I was looking for the default setting of this variable and the MariaDB
documentation
<https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/xtradbinnodb-server-system-variables/#innodb_file_per_table>
has:

> *Default Value:* OFF (>= MariaDB/MySQL 5.5.7), ON (MariaDB/MySQL 5.5.0 to
5.5.6)

while MySQL documentation
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_file_per_table>
has (I think correctly):

*Permitted Values* (<= 5.6.5)
*Type* boolean* Default *OFF

*Permitted Values* (>= 5.6.6)
*Type *boolean*  Default *ON


So, I see two issues:
- first, the changing version is 5.6.6 (not 5.5.7), at least in MySQL, and
- second, the values OFF / ON in the Maria documentation are reversed.

Apologies if this is not the correct list to raise the issue.
