I have a virtual virtual virtual virtual machine with Uguntu 14.04. When I do a large mysql import inside the box, I notice that the import was incomplete. If I try to restart mysql, this error will occur:
[FAIL] /etc/init.d/mysql: ERROR: The partition with /var/lib/mysql is too full! ... failed!
I resized the VMDK image by cloning the VDI, resizing it and cloning it back to the VMDK, as I read that this might fix the problem.
$ df -h
rootfs 9.1G 8.7G 8.0K 100% /
I know that the file system /tmpis mounted separately in Ubuntu, so I even tried changing the tmp directory to mysql.ini, and that didn't work either.
