If you have started mysqld with
--myisam-recover
, MySQL
automatically checks and tries to repair
MyISAM
tables if they are marked as 'not
closed properly' or 'crashed'. If this happens, MySQL writes
an entry in the hostname.err
file
'Warning: Checking table ...'
which is
followed by Warning: Repairing table
if the
table needs to be repaired. If you get a lot of these errors,
without mysqld having died unexpectedly
just before, then something is wrong and needs to be
investigated further.
As of MySQL 5.5.3, when the server detects
MyISAM
table corruption, it writes
additional information to the error log, such as the name and
line number of the source file, and the list of threads
accessing the table. Example: Got an error from
thread_id=1, mi_dynrec.c:368
. This is useful
information to include in bug reports.
