Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.18-7 Severity: normal
Note: this may be a duplicate of #343639, but too many people have tried to take over bugs that I've seen, so I won't comment while the moreinfo bit is on there. Plus there is more than one bug "reported in the last couple of months", which is what [testing] is for anyhow... I am running testing (primarily) and caught the mysql upgrade last Friday. Today I saw the following messages in my syslog: mysqld[15682]: 060224 10:56:38 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Incorrect key file for table './wikidb/searchindex.MYI'; try to repair it mysqld[15682]: 060224 10:56:38 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Incorrect key file for table './wikidb/searchindex.MYI'; try to repair it running mysqlchk: wikidb.archive OK wikidb.blobs OK wikidb.brokenlinks OK wikidb.categorylinks OK wikidb.cur OK wikidb.hitcounter note : The storage engine for the table doesn't support check wikidb.image OK wikidb.imagelinks OK wikidb.interwiki OK wikidb.ipblocks OK wikidb.links OK wikidb.linkscc OK wikidb.math OK wikidb.objectcache OK wikidb.old OK wikidb.oldimage OK wikidb.querycache OK wikidb.recentchanges OK wikidb.searchindex error : Key in wrong position at page 4096 error : Corrupt wikidb.site_stats OK wikidb.user OK wikidb.user_newtalk OK wikidb.watchlist OK from mysql: mysql> use wikidb; Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Database changed mysql> check table searchindex extended; +--------------------+-------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +--------------------+-------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | wikidb.searchindex | check | error | Table './wikidb/searchindex' is marked as crashed and should be repaired | +--------------------+-------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> repair table searchindex extended; +--------------------+--------+----------+----------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +--------------------+--------+----------+----------+ | wikidb.searchindex | repair | status | OK | +--------------------+--------+----------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.12 sec) mysql> check table searchindex extended; +--------------------+-------+----------+------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +--------------------+-------+----------+------------------------------------+ | wikidb.searchindex | check | error | Key in wrong position at page 4096 | | wikidb.searchindex | check | error | Corrupt | +--------------------+-------+----------+------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) >From Google, I hear very few reasons why a repaired table would immediately corrupt, one of the possible reasons is that a column name in the table has just been declared a keyword.

This smells like something upstream though, either CHECK needs to properly identify (un)recoverable errors or REPAIR needs to successfully correct them... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 depends on: ii adduser 3.80 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.70 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.5-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbi-perl 1.50-2 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-9 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient15 5.0.18-7 mysql database client library ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.1-6 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii mysql-client-5.0 5.0.18-7 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.0.18-7 mysql database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.0.14-4 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.1-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 recommends: ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent -- debconf information: mysql-server-5.0/really_downgrade: false mysql-server-5.0/start_on_boot: true mysql-server-5.0/mysql_update_hints1: mysql-server-5.0/nis_warning: mysql-server-5.0/postrm_remove_databases: false mysql-server-5.0/no_upgrade_with_isam_tables: * mysql-server-5.0/mysql_install_db_notes: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
