Description:
When an InnoDB tablespace fills up, an error is logged to the client, but not the error log. Also, the error message is misleading and not pointing to the real source of the problem.

How to repeat:
Create a server instance with an innodb table space that is not autoextending.

innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M
innodb_file_per_table = 0

Create a schema and a table, with some dummy data:

root@localhost [kris]> show create table t\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: t
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t` (
  `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `d` char(100) NOT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2828 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

and

insert into t (d) values ("blablablablablablablablabla");

Now duplicate that data as long as needed to overflow the tablespace:

insert into t (d) select d from t; # repeat about 10-12 times

root@localhost [kris]> insert into t (d) select d from t;
ERROR 1114 (HY000): The table 't' is full

Check the mysqld.err file. Nothing is logged.
Check the text of the error message. It should say "tablespace (tablespacename) full" if the tablespace is not autoextending, it should say "disk (devicename) full, if the tablespace cannot longer autoextend because the disk is full, it should say "quota for user (username) exceeded", if an EQUOTA is returned from the autoextend.

Suggested fix:
See "how to repeat".

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Assigning this to Inaam.

Kristian,

For any error returned by the OS, InnoDB will print a message. Specifically if ENOSPC is returned a 'disk full' message is printed by the InnoDB. In other cases, InnoDB may print a detailed message but at the very least it will print the errno returned by the OS.

The case of non auto-extending datafile is different in that it is not an OS error. However, your suggestion that InnoDB should print a message to that effect is a reasonable feature request.

Since 5.1 is already in code freeze state, we can attempt to include your suggestion in 6.x time frame.

Thanks for pointing this out.

regards,
inaam

misleading and did not indicate the real source of the problem.
