yes, but ONLY if you run myisamchk with --read-only flag.

You can get false positives - myisamchk may report the table as crashed
even if it is not. Just assume myisamchk checking the table, and when
it's half-way done MySQL writes something to the table.
The table will most definitely *look* corrupted.
