Getting errno 27 (as opposed to a "table is full" message or a signal 25/SIGXFSZ) usually means you're running Linux on a filesystem that doesn't support large file (ext2 for example), on a kernel too old to support large files, or a mysqld not compiled for large file support. Since your table is currently at least 10GB, I'm not sure why it just started complaing now :) The combination of your existing index plus this new one will bump the .MYI file over the 2GB point, but I don't think that should be a problem. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
