I just compiled MySQL 3.22.27 (yes, I know it's an old package) under RedHat 7.0. It compiles and installs fine and mysqld seems to run ok, but isamchk refuses to check tables: isamchk: error: 22 when opening ISAM-table 'note.ISM' The file exists and is readable by root: -rw-rw---- 1 root root 1024 Apr 16 10:22 note.ISM I've dropped and recreated the table several times, with no change. All the tables in the database have this problem. From errno.h, error 22 is EINVAL ("Invalid Argument"). I took a peak at the source code. The error is being returned by ni_open(). Before I press deeper into the code, has anyone seen this problem before and/or know how to fix it?
