Thanks Jared. This is probably my solution, however, I can't seem to drop this 
table.

This is probably a basic mysql question, but how can I force a drop or remove a 
lock? When I try to drop the table, it just sits there waiting for the table:


mysql> show processlist;
+----+-----------+-----------+------+---------+------+-------------------+---------------------+
| Id | User      | Host      | db   | Command | Time | State             | 
Info                |
+----+-----------+-----------+------+---------+------+-------------------+---------------------+
|  7 | kohaadmin | localhost | koha | Query   |   31 | Waiting for table | drop 
table sessions | 
|  8 | kohaadmin | localhost | koha | Query   |    0 | NULL              | show 
processlist    | 
+----+-----------+-----------+------+---------+------+-------------------+---------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> 


IS there a way to "force the drop" or unlock the table? I am having no luck 
searching google.

Edward

Edward,

Drop the table then recreate it. Your users will have to log in again, but 
that's it. I'm not sure that will reclaim the disk space, though.

I am trying to work on a small, older Koha  (3.0.2)install that is not longer 
working. Koha is having issues connecting to the database after a problem with 
diskspace. While checking the Mysql and log files, I've come across with a 
problem with the "sessions" table in Koha. a CHECK TABLES on it or a REPAIR 
just hangs forever. They have backups so I should be able to restore the whole 
database (or possibly just this table) but before I do, does anyone have any 
other alternative solutions? What does this table do?
