The trouble with myisamchk is that it requires the server to be offline. This may not be suitable. Do you have a bad area on the disk? The easiest way would be to stop the server briefly, rename the index thus keeping it occupying the potentially bad part of the disk and recreate the index.
This would at least take the disk out of the equation if the problem re-occurs.

As myisamchk -r -o *.MY* Thanks & Regards Dilipkumar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dirk Bremer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <mysql@lists.mysql.com> Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 8:32 PM Subject: Mysqlcheck issues I am using MySQL server 4.1.10 on Windows 2003 Server with MyISAM tables. I have an issue where occasionally an index (MYI) file becomes corrupted. I do not know why this occurs. To combat this issue, I tried running the following command every half-hour: mysqlcheck -Aamov --auto-repair --use-frm This command runs on the host. For some reason, when this command executes, the MySQL service aborts and the MYI for the main table is corrupted. I must then restart the service and repair the affected table. I am at a loss here. I would really like to use the --auto-repair option, but don't understand what is causing the service to abort. Your thoughts?
