Hello, I`ve got myself into a bit of a mess by allowing my raq3's 200mb var partition to fill up. This means I can no longer login to my server as root, because a log file of my login cannot be created. Naturally only root can delete or move any files in /var to fix this problem :o Anyway, this caused my MySQL database which was also in /var have problems, and before realising that disk space was the cause, I tried to repair the database using the repair command. Now I have a corrupt database that I cannot export due to "Error: Cannot open database.MYD", and I cannot copy the actual data files on the server due to lack of permissions. Is there anyway I can get around this? If I delete the database I should have enough room to login as root again, but I`d really rather have a copy of the database before doing this.
