Re: Innodb Log File Error

No, you won't lose any data.

The InnoDB log files (these are also called the REDO logs) are implemented as a circular buffer. Should you accumulate more information than you have available space for (based on the position of the last checkpoint) then the overflow is temporarily routed to the primary tablespace (your ibdata# files). This is clearly going to have some impact performance until the new information added to the REDO logs since your last checkpoint can be merged with the permanent data location of the tables.

To fix this, *carefully* follow the procedure documented here to increase the size your log files
