ERROR 1114 (HY000): The table is full

Question

I'm trying to add a row to an InnoDB table with a simply query:

INSERT INTO zip_codes (zip_code, city) VALUES ('90210', 'Beverly Hills');

But when I attempt this query, I get the following:

ERROR 1114 (HY000): The table `zip_codes` is full

Doing a "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM zip_codes" gives me 188,959 rows, which doesn't seem like too many considering I have another table with 810,635 rows in that same database.

I am fairly inexperienced with the InnoDB engine and never experienced this issue with MyISAM. What are some of the potential problems here?

EDIT: This only occurs when adding a row to the zip_codes table.

I too faced this error while importing an 8GB sql database file. Checked my mysql installation drive. There was no space left in the drive. So got some space by removing unwanted items and re-ran my database import command. This time it was successful.
