Bug Description

mysql package version: 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.1
System is completely up to date.

The mysql server crashes logging the following error message "/etc/init.d/mysql[965]: ERROR: The partition with /data/mysql is too full!" in syslog.

df -h delivers the following output:
/dev/sda1 20G 1,7G 17G 10% /
udev 500M 208K 500M 1% /dev
none 500M 0 500M 0% /dev/shm
none 500M 1,3M 499M 1% /var/run
none 500M 4,0K 500M 1% /var/lock
none 500M 0 500M 0% /lib/init/rw
/dev/sda5 36G 5,0G 30G 15% /data

sda1 is used as boot partition
sda5 is used as data partition (mounted as /data) and mysql /var/lib/mysql is symlinked to /data/mysql

I've found the debian bug 367083 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367083) which looks similar but as far as I see the fix for this was applied to the /etc/init.d/mysql script in my current mysql version.

Could you paste the output of the following command:

  LC_ALL=C BLOCKSIZE= df --portability /var/lib/mysql/.
