Hi,

there are some reasons why indexes will be flagged as bad

- an index was created and than the db stops without regular shutdown;
  at restart time this index wouldn't be recreated but only flagged as
bad
  to speed up the restart; this behaviour could be changed by setting
the 
  db parameter AUTO_RECREATE_BAD_INDEXES to YES

- at the migration from version 7.3 to version >= 7.4 indexes
  containing only one column which could become null will be flagged 
  as bad because of designe changes within indexes between 7.3 and 7.4

- hardware problems 

Kind regards
Holger
