EDIT It is also worth noting that this can be caused by a full ramdisk when doing things like altering a large table if you have a ramdisk configured. You can temporarily comment out the ramdisk line to allow such operations if you can't increase the size of it. share|improve this answer edited Mar 20 '15 at 18:27 Justin Warkentin 3,65931727 answered Dec 8 '11 at 16:48 Monsters X 1,7651917 3 Also I have about 2Gb free space and get this error. But my database about 1.7 Gb and database has a table with ~1.5M rows. After cleanup, when free space about 3.5-4Gb, the error disappears. –Sergey May 31 '12 at 5:35 1 On my system (Fedora 18) /tmp is a small tmpfs filesystem and mysql ran out of space writing a temp table there. I had to set the tmpdir config variable as mentioned on mysql.com –jcbwlkr Nov 5 '13 at 18:26 1 Although this may be a cause, this has never been due to full disk for me. I'm getting this error on an Amazon RDS instance allocated for 10GB that's only 1% full. Low memory may also be a reason. –Cerin

If it does not solve then u may need to assign more space to tmp folder check here planet.mysql.com/entry/?id=32629 –Abhik Chakraborty Mar 13 '14 at 9:39 I need some help to increase virtual disk capacity.

optimization Table Locks Why they happen, and how to reduce them Reduce Costs Make better use of your server hardware A fix for "Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/#sql_xxxx_x.MYI'" in MySQL By Stephen Jayna, 8th March 2011 The Most Likely Cause: You're Out Of Space Chances are, that if you're seeing this error, you've run out of space in /tmp or wherever tmpdir points to. If only for the time it takes MySQL to create a temporary file (filling the parition) and delete it in disgust. In Ever So Slightly More Detail DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/#sql_4091_0.MYI'; try to repair it [for Statement "... The idea of it being suggested that one needs to run a repair on a temporary table should raise an eyebrow. It just doesn't make much sense: it suggests it's somehow corrupted, but since it's transitory and has just been freshly created by MySQL, it should never be needed. Not to mention tricky to implement. In my experience, limited though it is, the primary reason for seeing this error message is because your tmpdir has run out of space. Like me you'll check how much free space you have: 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb. It may not be enough. And here's why: MySQL can create temporary tables bigger than that in a matter of seconds, quickly filling up any free space. Depending on the nature of the query and the size of the database naturally. Take this evening for example: I had a temporary table created that was around 3.6Gb in size, from a database that's only 5.4Gb in total, and I had only had 1.8Gb of free space. Imagine a couple of queries of that nature running in parallel. The moment the space has been filled, the above error will be thrown, the temporary file on disk will be deleted, and you'll be none the wiser. Conclusion Perhaps the MySQL instance could be better configured - but that's not the point - the error message is oblique at best. Make sure you've got enough temporary space, you may need more than you imagine. Your Comments You saved my DAY! Thanks a You saved my DAY!
