Can't create new categories in a brand new installation of Vanilla.

Installed Vanilla; the database tables seem to have been created just fine; I've got a couple of people signed up with member accounts, but no posts yet; I went to create a new category beyond General and hit this error: Error Message An error occurred while retrieving categories. Affected Elements CategoryManager.GetCategories(); The error occurred on or near: Can't create/write to file '/home/mysql/#sql_7089_0.MYI' (Errcode: 2) 2 is "file not found," if I remember correctly, but I have no idea why it can't be found. Nor why Vanilla could set up other aspects of itself just fine and then balk here. Help? --Thanks.

    It may be that your host has had some kind of database issue. It's probably worthwhile checking things over with them or just trying again in a while. If you still have no luck we could look into it a bit further. It's quite strange that it cant create stuff yet (presumably) viewing member accounts and stuff (which naturally also accesses the database) works fine?

    It appears to have been strictly temporary; I just went back to check and the category I'd tried to create was there! (I hadn't done anything to it since getting the error message.) So I tried to create another category. No problems! So: huh.
