Two things to check. First run
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "large_files_support";
and verify that it's set to ON. If it's OFF, then for some reason your
mysqld wasn't compiled with large file support. If it's ON, run
SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE "align";
and check the Max_data_length column. If it's 2147483647, then you
simply have to let MySQL know that your table needs to be larger than
2gb. I usually see 4294967295 as a limit here, though, not 2147483647.
To raise the max filesize, run
ALTER TABLE align AVG_ROW_LENGTH=nnnn MAX_ROWS=mmmm
and use reasonable guesses for each. You can use the current average
rowlength value from the previous SHOW TABLE STATUS command. It's not
a hard limit, so it's ok if you guess too low for MAX_ROWS, as long as
MAX_ROWS*AVG_ROW_LENGTH is larger than 2gb.
