MySQL Error 1030: Got error 28¶

Troubleshooting¶

Error 28 means “No space left on device”. This is typically caused by the database server not having sufficient disk space to perform the requested query. Even if there seems to be enough space left, the query might have to create temporary tables which require more disk space than is currently available.

Reducing the size of the database can often help: one easy way to do this is by clearing out Template Revisions. (If Template Revisions are not needed, that feature can be disabled altogether under Admin ‣ Template Preferences.) If MySQL runs on localhost, increasing the available disk space by deleting other files such as the cache might also work. In all cases the database administrator should be notified of the issue.
