Temporary file write failure?

    Was wondering if this would work on our database. We have WooCommerce, bbPress and BuddyPress installed. There are over 1.6 million replies and 200,000 topics. We are currently writing a custom forum solution to replace bbPress/BuddyPress. Not everything can be treated as a blog post and work well.

    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    I fear your MySQL server machine is underprovisioned. Its temporary file system has filled up during the rekeying process. Your best bet here is to contact your hosting provider and see if they can give you more temp file space. The error message to show them is this:

    Temporary file write failure for query ALTER TABLE wp_postmeta ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id, meta_key, meta_id)

    Another way to handle this server underprovisioning problem is to dump the wp_postmeta table to a file, edit the dump file, and recreate the table from the dump file. I really really don’t want to try to explain that in a forum post.

    There’s 250 gigabytes of free space on the disk. I’ll investigate some more but I don’t think the issue is what you are thinking it is.

    Possibly a file size restriction? I’m not really sure off hand. Thanks though.

    It looks like the new server has a dedicated partition for the /tmp directory which was only 1.5 gigabytes. I changed the database’s temp directory location to utilize the main partition. The updates finished without issue.

    Thanks!

    Glad you got it working. I wish there were a way to ask MySQL or MariaDB the size of the /tmp directory so the plugin could warn about this problem.

    Thanks for following up.

    This should do the trick?

    
if ( $row = $wpdb->get_row("SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'tmpdir'") ) {
	if (is_dir($row->Value)) {
		echo '<p>Database Temp Dir: ' . $row->Value . '</p>';

		$bytes = disk_free_space( $row->Value );
		$si_prefix = array( 'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB' );
		$base = 1024;
		$class = min((int)log($bytes , $base) , count($si_prefix) - 1);
		echo '<p>Free Space: ' . sprintf('%1.2f' , $bytes / pow($base,$class)) . ' ' . $si_prefix[$class] . '</p>';
	}
}

    Thanks for that. It works if the web server host is the same as the database server host. That’s only true in some WordPress installations.

    Ahh right – not much can be done about remote mysql hosts.

    Where to place the code mentioned in this thread to solve the Temporary file write failure issue?
