Before enabling boost, please consider very carefully how you plan to use it long term. Carefull thought should be given to how often you update RRD's at what point you need to either increase your MySQL max heap table size, or increase your update frequency. You should also consider carefully how much memory to allocate to PHP when retrieving records during major updates.

If you are unsure of what I am talking about, you should not use Boost!!!
Did you consider this stuff? MySQl heap table size, update frequency of RRds etc.

See this? Error 1114, which is tells you there is a problem with your Heap table (full).
