Actually it can happen for any 'create file' event that the server
executes.
Some examples:
- For a storage handler that uses MySQL (like MyISAM) when creating a file
- When creating a log or trace file
- SELECT into outfile
etc
The causes for this could be any of the reasons why a 'open()' call
fails. Some examples:
- Not having right permission to the file or directory
- Directory or unit not existing
- Hardware / software trouble
etc.
