How can I append a new datafile in an existing InnoDB tablespace? I want to add a new data file in an existing InnoDB tablespace so that entry of data is smooth in case it hits its 4GB limit.
Plan A:  Reformat the disk to be NTFS.  Caution:  This destroys all data, so you would need to do a major backup and restore.

Plan B:  Turn off innodb_file_per_table, go into my.cnf and configure the main tablespace in a way I have not seen used in more than a decade -- namely something like ibdata1:3G,ibdata2:3G,ibdata3:3G,ibdata4:3G,ibdata5:3G.  That way, you are pre-specifying the partitions and InnoDB (unless it has forgotten how) will be able to handle tables of arbitrary size (> 4GB) if they are in that tablespace.  Finally, ALTER TABLE foo ENGINE=InnoDB to move the table into that tablespace.

Yuck.  Turn back the clock because of Windows.
