yes, but ONLY if you run myisamchk with --read-only flag. > I am not really caring if it returns the "# users still connected/ or > table not closed right" warning. I am not really looking for that. > I am looking for warnings telling my that tables are corrupted... 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.
