'df' indeed shows that /tmp is the swap partition, although mysql can still create files there (i.e. it's not like Linux's partition type 82, which you can't write to normally IIRC). I'll check swapping. Unfortunately I'll have to reboot to change TMPDIR, and the users won't like that :( Regards, -- </Martijn> -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
