Mysql::Error: Incorrect key file for table

Few days ago my current Ruby on Rails project was been moved to a staging server with similar configuration of the live web site. Suddenly yesterday in one of the administration modules I started getting the following error:

Mysql::Error: Incorrect key file for table ‘/tmp/#sql_61a9_0.MYI’;
try to repair it

After searching about it on Google I landed to a Mysql bug page. I tried several things to fix this issue like:

But nothing worked, so today I wrote to Rimu hosting’s tech support explaining about the problem.

I received a response within half hour and I really do appreciate their promptness. This pointed me into the right direction that the issue was not with MySQL but due to the fact that there was no disk space available on server. 

[root@xxxxxxx ~]# df -H
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1             4.3G   4.3G   512k 100% /

Tada the problem was gone after freeing up some space on the server :)

I let my daughter wear Kamasutra

kamasutra-personal-care-promotion Its obvious to get confused after seeing this banner. Kamasutra one of the leading Indian manufacturers of condoms and known for the same around the world has introduced a new range of personal care for both men and women.

Tag line here "I let my daughter wear Kamasutra" appears to be a very well planned pitch for introducing Kamasutra into an all new domain. At present Kamasutra has released a range of deodorants and after shave lotions. Products are been named very carefully keeping the brand image in consideration like KamaSutra Spark, KamaSutra Urge, KamaSutra Dare, KamaSutra Provoke and KamaSutra Intention.

Quite similarly an advertisement of undergarment company Amul became very popular where a woman is washing her husband’s underwear with really stunning expressions. Read more

As of now this fabulous concept of promoting personal care range products is limited to only movie halls, and few public places to target only well educated broadminded audience to avoid any misinterpretation of the message that is intended to be delivered. Good amount of online promotion is made on the web site by putting banner ads and showcasing all the personal care range products along with their details.

Kamasutra must have made many turned on by there late night TV advertisements and now with a difference Kamasutra is making people curious. And that is what seems to be the motive behind coming up with such a concept for promotion of the Kamasutra personal care range.
