Odd. I just painstakingly upgraded to MySQL 5.1.34, coming from 5.0.77. So, I run: "/usr/local/bin/mysql_upgrade", and get these all over the
place (see below; just a few lines: the error list is too long to post in whole). So, accomodating MySQL, I run: /usr/local/bin/myisamchk --force --extend-check --update-state -O key_buffer=128M -O sort_buffer=128M -O read_buffer=2M -O write_buffer=2M /var/db/mysql/*/*.MYI Makes no difference, though. All the tables are unusable now (thank God for Vmware!). But obviously, I can't take it to the producton server like this (FreeBSD). Anyone any idea what's happening?
