# WordPress Database Error: [Got error 28 from table handler]

 * We host approximately 500+ blogs on our servers and this evening, our servers
   experienced this error on ALL blogs running WordPress 2.0 – – not just one or
   two blogs, but all of them running the new version. On quick check – all other
   blogs running earlier versions did not have this issue at all, and were running
   fine – – so it is isolated to 2.0 users.
 * A quick repair of all 2.0 database tables server-wide resolved the immediate 
   issue and the 2.0 blogs were, once again, running smoothly.
 * We’ve been hosting WordPress blogs for the past 2 years and never ran into this
   issue with any of the earlier versions of WP.
 * We’re just began researching this issue to make sure our client blogs aren’t 
   interrupted by this issue again – as it just occurred on our servers approximately
   10-20 minutes ago. So far, what I’ve read is that this occurs intermittently 
   on 2.0 blogs – even after the repair of the db tables.
 * Any feedback would be most helpful.
 * Thank you!

 * (edit)
 * More disk space used in 2.0 could be result of the wp-content/cache folder…

 * Thank you, Michael. I didn’t run across that link – though I’ve run across every
   other link out there 🙂
 * Our tmp folder was at 78% usage. We’ve adjusted, and hopefully will not see this
   issue in the future.
 * Keeping fingers crossed!

 * This error has just popped up on my wordpress 1.51 installation and I repaired
   all the tables. But no joy.
 * I have mailed a request to support at my host, because I don’t know what to do
   next
