Besides google there's also a manual ;o) that
describes a "perror" program from MySQL distribution.
% perror 5 28
Error code 5: Input/output error
Error code 28: No space left on device
serg:~ %
So, indeed, error 28 could be a common case, but error 5 ?
'man errno' explains
5 EIO Input/output error. Some physical input or output error occurred.
This error will not be reported until a subsequent operation on
the same file descriptor and may be lost (over written) by any
subsequent errors.
If it won't ring any bells, try mysqld with strace to see what *exactly*
syscall caused errno 5.

Sergei
