[Howto Fix] Table './eximstats/sends' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

I've tryed to dump my whole databases with mysqldump


mysqldump --all-databases > all_databases.sql


got the error 'Table './eximstats/sends' is marked as crashed and should be repaired when using LOCK TABLES'

'eximstats' is my databasename und 'sends' my tablename.

I've tryed to repair the table with


mysqlcheck -u root --check auto-repair --optimize all-databases


but it no not worked

I've also tryed to repair ith with


mysql> repair table eximstats.sends;
+-----------------+--------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text |
+-----------------+--------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| eximstats.sends | repair | Error | Table './eximstats/sends' is marked as crashed and should be repaired |
| eximstats.sends | repair | Error | Table 'sends' is marked as crashed and should be repaired |
| eximstats.sends | repair | status | Table is already up to date |
+-----------------+--------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

and it do not worked again...

I've stoped mysql daemon

service mysqld stop

I've tryed to repair MYI files with myisamchk with the parameter '-r'.


root@server[/home/user]# myisamchk /var/lib/mysql/eximstats/sends.MYI
Checking MyISAM file: /var/lib/mysql/eximstats/sends.MYI
Data records: 904 Deleted blocks: 114296
myisamchk: warning: Table is marked as crashed

- check file-size
- check record delete-chain
myisamchk: error: record delete-link-chain corrupted
- check key delete-chain

- check data record references index: 1
myisamchk: error: Found key at page 3105792 that points to record outside datafile
MyISAM-table '/var/lib/mysql/eximstats/sends.MYI' is corrupted
Fix it using switch "-r" or "-o"


root@server[/home/user]# myisamchk /var/lib/mysql/eximstats/sends.MYI -r
- recovering (with sort) MyISAM-table '/var/lib/mysql/eximstats/sends.MYI'
Data records: 904
- Fixing index 1

And it worked suddenly :)
