Thanks Mikael,

This is just what I also thought was going on - and this is why I was surprised to find that "extra" stage.

1) Create the new table with a temporary name (actually
6 partitions are created forming one table)
--done as anticipated
2) Copy the data from the original table to the new table.
This will take some time for a large table...
--done as anticipated
3) Rename table from temporary name to original table name.
--done as anticipated
4) Drops the old table.
--done as anticipated
5) Fill 6 tables as temporary #sql-XXXXX#P#p[0-6].ibd files, again.

This 5th stage took a really long time, and I don't know why it's there and what did it do. There was no more the old t.ibd file, only new t#P#p0.ibd, t#P#p1.ibd (and so on) files, and the files mentioned in section 5 above.

What could it be? Am I missing something?
