I just repaired 90G MyISAM table with REPAIR TABLE command. the space on the hard drive gone down from 165 Gig to 70 Gig. I understand that during repair process MySQL creates temp file and remove it after the job done. Or removal process executes on the server restart? how can I get that space back? I can't check the table directory as I don't have root perm on that box. Oops... Can you run [show global variables like 'innodb_file_per_table';] ? I kind of expect it to be OFF, which means that the temp table would have been created in the main tablespace. If that's the case, that space has been permanently assimilated by the global tablespace; the only way to get it back would be a full dump of all your (innodb) tables, stop server, delete tablespace, start server and import the data again.

I'm working on that trying to find a way by reducing extremely inefficient tables. Switched to innodb_file_per_table already. I'm gradually converting HUGE (70-100Gig) MyISAM tables to InnoDB. The way I do it is by 1. creating csv file to keep the original data 2. CREATE TABLE new_innodb LIKE old_myisam; 3. ALTER TABLE new_innodb MODIFY ADD id bigint UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST; (YES NO PRIMARY KEYS :( ) 4. LOAD DATA INFILE '/storage/mysql/dump/old_myisam.csv' INTO TABLE new_innodb FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (`site_id`,`index_date`,`index_month`,`index_year`,`keyword`,`source`,`visits`,`bounced_visits`,`transactions`,`revenue`,`value_per_click`,`conversions`,`goal_value`); Our operations allows to do that. But it takes a long time to load 7-8 H for 250 000 000 Rows I tried to DROP indexes on new_innodb, LOAD DATA, works quicker, but then when I do ALTER TABLE `new_innodb` ADD KEY `idx1` (`col1`,`col2`), ADD KEY `idx2` (`col1`,`col2`,`col3`); Server become numb with I/O wait 15-20% and I had to kill the process ..
