Yes the crash happened during an ALTER: the table `logs/#sql-ib203` appeared after a MySQL crash due to disk space shortage while executing the following query: ALTER TABLE `logs`.`srv_logs` DROP COLUMN `filenum` , DROP COLUMN `agent` , DROP COLUMN `ip` , DROP COLUMN `event_source` , ADD INDEX `username_event_type_idx` (`username` ASC, `event_type` ASC) ; Shouldn't the recovery take care of cleaning the temporary tables created during the query running at the time of the crash? Or at least, if not, shouldn't the DROP be working on this temporary table?
