Swany,
I do indeed have a host.frm file, and the timestamp is from 2000.
Unfortunately, I've had to start up 4.1.0 again and leave it up as folks
here have to work on the db. Since they won't be working tomorrow, I'll
try to remove the host.frm (also perhaps the host.ISD and host.ISM?) file
tomor
Yup. It's all there, everything's fine on directory structure. I can
start 4.1.0 back up without changing anything else and it starts up okay.
Very perplexing.

Yup. It's definitely there and definitely being accessed when I start up
mysql -- for fun, I tried removing it (temporarily, natch) and starting
mysql and got different errors.

Okay, I changed the datadir to /database/var, same error. The symlink is
definitely valid: when doing cd and ls and such I always use the symlink.

It's actually in /database/var. There's a symlink in /opt/mysql that
points it over. Could a symlink be the problem?
