Hello all,

MySQL doesn't start. Here the logs:

071004 10:33:05 mysqld started
071004 10:33:05 [Warning] Asked for 196608 thread stack, but got 126976

We've found any information about this issue. The warning above suggests to delete the new ibdata files, but our files have a huge size (4Go) and we would like not to delete our precious data...

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 100M Oct 3 15:35 /data/mysql/ib_logfile1

Maybe a clue, remaining space disk on MySQL data partition becomes short:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc2 42G 34G 5.9G 86% /data
We are aware of this lack of space, and we'll solve it sooner as possible; can it be directly the cause of the innodb issue?

Thanks for your help!
