Description:
SQL_MODE NO_DIR_IN_CREATE does not work for tables with subpartitions (although it works for normal tables and partitions). 

It causes replication failures, e.g. if the slave runs on the same box as the master -- slave SQL thread aborts with Can't create/write to file ... (Errcode: 17).

The manual specifically says: 'Beginning with MySQL 5.1.18, the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY  options are disallowed when the NO_DIR_IN_CREATE server SQL mode is in effect. This is true for partitions and subpartitions.'

How to repeat:
set session sql_mode='NO_DIR_IN_CREATE';
use test;
drop table if exists tssubpart;

CREATE TABLE tssubpart (id INT, purchased DATE) engine=MyISAM
    PARTITION BY RANGE(YEAR(purchased))
    SUBPARTITION BY HASH( TO_DAYS(purchased) ) (
        PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE 
                DATA DIRECTORY = '/tmp/not-existing' 
                INDEX DIRECTORY = '/tmp/not-existing'
    );

# ERROR 1 (HY000): Can't create/write to file '/tmp/not-existing/tssubpart#P#p0#SP#p0sp0.MYI' (Errcode: 2)

Suggested fix:
A similar problem was reported and solved for partitions long time ago (bug#24633).

Need to copy the check from the partition level in partition_info.cc:1170 to 1205.

        moved the check for DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY into a function
        and used it for both partitions as well as subpartitions.
        (Was not checked at all for subpartitions before)

Documented in the 5.5.5 and 6.0.14 changelogs as follows:

        The NO_DIR_IN_CREATE SQL mode was not enforced when defining
        subpartitions.

Also updated note about this issue in 5.1/5.5/6.0 versions of Partitioning chapter.

Closed.
