MySQL/Writing file error (Errcode 28)

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?

Solution

  • 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.
