If the disk becomes full you may want to add another data file to another disk, for example. Then you have to look the size of ibdata1, round the size downward to the closest multiple of 1024 * 1024 bytes (= 1 MB), and specify the rounded size of ibdata1 explicitly in innodb_data_file_path. After that you can add another data file: innodb_data_home_dir = innodb_data_file_path = /ibdata/ibdata1:988M;/disk2/ibdata2:50M:autoextend " > I want to do this with as little downtime as possible.
