Thanks a lot for your answer! However, when I used the option innodb_file_per_table I saw that the temp file (#sql...) was created in my DB directory and on this partition I still have plenty of space (more than 200GB). Do you think I CAN'T use this option for such a big table and I have to use innodb_data_file_path?
