WordPress: Error 28

I got an Error 28 after posting on my WordPress blog yesterday. So I searched the Support forums to find out why. I found this helpful wiki page that showed me how I can avoid the Error 28.

“If you get this error, check all filesystems in which MySQL operates. If you followed recommendations to split datadir, tmpdir and log files into dedicated filesystems, more than one filesystem is involved. In addition, be aware that MySQL often creates temporary tables for some queries. Most of these are placed in tmpdir; however, some may be found in the database directory (e.g. ALTER TABLE). Also, ensure that sufficient free disk space is available for MySQL.”

If you get this error, running “repair table” in phpMyAdmin can fix it. Or just contact your host and let them know about the problem.
