I do not use Innodb tables at the moment, so all this is pure speculation.
Is/was the server connected to a UPS when the power failure happened? If so, did the UPS function properly and do you have any UPS logs to match against the mysql error log? Things to check for would be the time the UPS took over from the mains supply? If there was no UPS in operation, were your InnoDB tables corrupted when the power failure occured. Is it possible for the InnoDB tables to have become so corrupted that mysql had no alternative but to re-construct the tables? What are your config settings for mysql at boot up time? Do you have any directives to force checking of InnoDB tables at boot-time, and if so what are they please? As soon as you mentioned 'power failure' the words 'table corruption' sprang to my mind. Also, are there any mysql transaction logs (*.log) you can check, to see what was happening when the power outage occured? Keith In theory, theory and practice are the same; In practice they are not.
