Description:
mysqld is running as a user which has a quota; a large INSERT is running; instead of  blocking (waiting for free space) when quota is exceeded, the INSERT terminates with:
ERROR 1030 (HY000) at line 1: Got error 127 from storage engine
and a CHECK TABLE then:
+--------+-------+----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Table  | Op    | Msg_type | Msg_text                                          |
+--------+-------+----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| test.t | check | error    | Size of datafile is: 8192         Should be: 8280 |
| test.t | check | error    | Corrupt                                           |
+--------+-------+----------+---------------------------------------------------+
This happens only if the write() cannot even write one byte.

How to repeat:
see description

Suggested fix:
my_write() is the only buggy place; it has a test for writenbytes != -1, to be removed.

After the pending fix, we see the INSERT block and this message goes to error log:
50106 16:49:21 [ERROR] /home/mysql_src/mysql-4.1-clean/sql/mysqld: Disk is full writing './test/t.MYD' (Errcode: 122). Waiting for someone to free space... Retry in 60 secs
