Hi All,

For the following statement...

ALTER ONLINE TABLE dom_audit_event ENGINE=INNODB, ALGORITHM=INPLACE;

I can still see that MariaDB is still using the value of tmpdir. We have this set to tmpfs on some of our servers and this causes some ALTER statements on big tables to fail. It was my understanding that if you specified INPLACE then the statement would fail if this was not possible.

Am I missing something?

Cheers,

Rhys
