How to fix: Error 28 from Storage Engine

I write in this blog what I experience in my daily system administration’s life.  Today, I came across “Error 28 from Storage Engine” on some of my websites such as this one.  Of course, I wasn’t familiar with this error off the top of my head but I’m sure I had encountered it in the past before and forgot.

Anyhow, after logging into my server and check the basic things such as restarting mysql and apache and then finally checking system’s disk utilization.  I noticed my /var partition was at 100% capacity and well immediately it explained the situation.

The mysql error simply indicates that you’re system, most commonly a partition where mysql stores datafiles/log files or system’s /tmp has run out of space or in other words, is at 100% capacity.

All you do is, clean up some unwanted/old files and restart mysqld and that’s it!
