I have a HUGE table, with hundreds of millions of records. mytab.MYD 78GB mytab.MYI 16GB
I decided to get rid of some old data because I can't INSERT into this table anymore, since the MAX for index file is reached. Following is what I did and what I got. mysql> DELETE FROM mytab WHERE modified < 20040601000000; OPTIMIZE TABLE mytab; Query OK, 163592026 rows affected (4 hours 5 min 48.61 sec) mysql> OPTIMIZE TABLE mytab; +--------------+----------+----------+----------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type |Msg_text | +--------------+----------+----------+----------------------+ | trlogs.mytab | optimize | error | 28 when fixing table | | trlogs.mytab | optimize | status | Operation failed | +--------------+----------+----------+----------------------+ 2 rows in set (27 min 52.21 sec) mysql> $ perror 28 Error code 28: No space left on device I agree that there is not much disk space. THE ISSUE: I want to reclaim the disk space that should be freed because of the millions of records I deleted. I need disk space to reclaim disk space? Atleast that's what it seems to be. I would await suggestions from experts. Regards Aman -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
