>You did do a myisamchk -eoB /var/lib/mysql/*/*.ISM ?
I did do a myisamchk on all my tables, but not exactly with the -eoB option. I am,
however, sure that the table files themselves are fine.
As a temporary solution I have rebuilt our development server from scratch (fresh
RedHat install) and placed my old tables (MYI, frm files) in the rebuilt dev server's
/var/lib/mysql and they work.
I fear if I have an ungraceful shutdown of MySQL again, even on the rebuilt dev
server, I'll be right back where I started. I am also serving on a connection that we
are technically only allowed to use for dev and internal networking (and am out a dev
server) Hope to get the real server back up soon without having to wipe and fresh
install RedHat.
Thanks again for your help so far,
Mike
