It seems that you are using a combination of MySQL + Kernel + Filesystem + Unix Distribution that is not capable of writing files larger than 4GB. That was a known limitations until some years ago. If you can, then copy those tables to a "recent" computer and execute a "REPAIR TABLE" on them. If they end up with >4GB then delete as much as necessary and they will be usable on your old computer again.
