I'm pretty sure I tried that... "myisamchk: error: File 'plassering' doesn't exist" is what I get when trying to run it without the suffix. But from the documentation I found this: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/REPAIR_TABLE.html "As of MySQL 4.0.2, there is a USE_FRM mode for REPAIR. Use it if the `.MYI' file is missing or if its header is corrupted. In this mode MySQL will recreate the table, using information from the `.frm' file. This kind of repair cannot be done with myisamchk." So from MySQL 4.0.2 you can't do this with 'myisamchk'. So next time I should include information about which version of MySQL I'm running too *hangs head in shame* Allthough this -could- have been noted in the docs! Maybe there should be a change in the documentation at the mysqlhotcopy page soon then since a lot of people are starting to use MySQL 4.x.x: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqlhotcopy.html "--noindices Don't include full index files in copy to make the backup smaller and faster The indexes can later be reconstructed with myisamchk -rq..
