MySQL error: “1030 – Got error -1 from storage engine”

MySQL

I received the following message while working while working with a pre-existing existing database and adding some new tables
Error Msg

#1030 - Got error -1 from storage engine

This usually means you've ran out of disk space. Check using df -h and delete any large log files or other files taking up a lot of space.

Failing that, check your memory usage.

You probably have to change it for both the client (you are running to do the import) AND the daemon mysqld that is running and accepting the import.

For the client, you can specify it on the command line:

mysql --max_allowed_packet=100M -u root -p database < dump.sql

Also, change the my.cnf or my.ini file (usually found in /etc/mysql/) under the mysqld section and set:

max_allowed_packet=100M

or you could run these commands in a MySQL console connected to that same server:

set global net_buffer_length=1000000; 
set global max_allowed_packet=1000000000;

(Use a very large value for the packet size.)

If the database you want to restore doesn't already exist, you need to create it first.

On the command-line, if you're in the same directory that contains the dumped file, use these commands (with appropriate substitutions):

C:\> mysql -u root -p

mysql> create database mydb;
mysql> use mydb;
mysql> source db_backup.dump;
