MySQL Writing file error Errcode 28

Question

I have the following error with one of our web applications -   Query3 failed  Error writing file   tmp MY1fnqpm   Errcode  28      INSERT MailList     removed the rest of the query for security reasons    Any ideas - is this some hard disk space issue on my server

User · Answer

Run the following code   du -sh  var log mysql  Perhaps mysql binary logs filled the memory  If so  follow the removal of old logs and restart the server  Also add in my cnf   expire logs days   3

I had this same error and the problem was simply not enough space on my virtual machine  I deleted some unnecessary files and it started working again   my memory disk space allocation looked something like this  df -h Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use  Mounted on  dev mapper centos-root   37G   37G  127M 100

This error occurs when you don t have enough space in the partition  Usually MYSQL uses  tmp on linux servers  This may happen with some queries because the lookup was either returning a lot of data  or possibly even just sifting through a lot of data creating big temp files   Edit your  etc mysql my cnf     tmpdir    your new dir   e g     tmpdir    var tmp   Should be allocated with more space than  tmp that is usually in it s own partition

Use the perror command     perror 28 OS error code  28   No space left on device   Unless error codes are different on your system  your file system is full

You can also try using this line if the other doesn t work   du -sh  var lib mysql database Name  You may also want to check with  your host and see how big they allow your databases to be

We have experienced similar issue  and the problem was MySQL used  tmp directory for its needs  it s default configuration   And  tmp was located on its own partition  that had too few space for big MySQL requests   For more details take a look for this answer  https   stackoverflow com a 3716778 994302

For xampp users  on my experience  the problem was caused by a file  named  0  and located in the  mysql  folder  The size was tooooo huge  mine exploded to about 256 Gb   Its removal fixed the problem

User · Answer

The error means that you dont have enough space to create temp files needed by MySQL   The first thing you can try is to expand the size of your  tmp  partition  If you are under LVM  check the lvextend command   If you are not able to increase the size of your partition  tmp  you can work in the MySQL configuration  edit the my cnf  typically on  etc mysql my cnf  file and look for this line   tmpdir    tmp    Change it for whatever you want  example  var tmp    Just be sure to have space and assign write permission for the mysql user in the new directory    Hope this helps
