Hi people, I'm new to the list. I'm writing because I've been having trouble with table corruption. I'm using isam tables and i've been using myisamchk under linux to check them. alot of the time it just reports that some of the tables were'nt closed properly so i repair them but after doing that i find that the tables are ruined.
I read that the linux 2.2.14 kernel can be a problem with mysql but i'm running the 2.4.8 kernel. Also, I did backup the databases using mysqldump...but after tryign to restore by: mysql --user=whoever --password=whatever --host=whereever < database_restore.txt i get errors...I think that when the backup was created bad data was written to the file. Is there supposed to be a minimum file size before your are supposed to run myisamchk, or is there something i should be running before i run myisamchk? can anyone shed some light? Thanx heaps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
