I would have assumed 330MB and don't see the reason why it should use
more. Obviously I am wrong about that.
I think a solution should be to tell the MySQL daemon to store
temporary files in a different directory, where you have enough space
left (e.g. via the TMPDIR environment variable or the --tmpdir command
line option).
As a side note, your index/data size ratios seem a bit big. There are
usually ways to keep indexes smaller. YMMV, of course.
Bye,
Benjamin.
