Hi, I would like to thank everyone (esp Carsten and Jocelyn) who helped me solve this problem. It now seems that the db now works ok.
For the record, I suggest that isamchk should contain a warning in the help text that you should not run it when mysqld is running. This combined with isamchk -i *.ISM. Also, I'll backup using mysqldump from now on, not just tarballing my dbdirs :) Tarjei "Carsten H.
