After crash:

mysql> repair table lot_not_sold;

616 rows in set (1.77 sec)

More output here, however I had to skip a lot of lines too due to size limit.

SELECT * FROM coinprice.lot_not_sold  ORDER BY site DESC limit 2;
+------------+----------------------------+---------------------+--------+------+------------+------------+------+

+------------+----------------------------+---------------------+--------+------+------------+------------+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Please note added is obviously incorrect for the first row.

mysql> delete from lot_not_sold where site>5;
ERROR 1032 (HY000): Can't find record in 'lot_not_sold'

Try to check:

mysql> check table lot_not_sold extended;
+------------------------+-------+----------+----------+
| Table                  | Op    | Msg_type | Msg_text |
+------------------------+-------+----------+----------+
| coinprice.lot_not_sold | check | status   | OK       |
+------------------------+-------+----------+----------+
1 row in set (2.95 sec)

Next try to select again, delete, repair - and always have the same result.

mysql> show create table lot_not_sold;

 CREATE TABLE `lot_not_sold` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `fulltitle` varchar(120) NOT NULL,
  `added` datetime NOT NULL,
  `finish` datetime DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'дата закрытия торгов',
  `site` tinyint(4) NOT NULL,
  `startprice` float(8,3) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `blitzprice` float(8,3) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
  `url` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`,`site`,`added`),
  KEY `IX_lot_not_sold_added` (`added`),
  KEY `IX_lot_not_sold_finish` (`finish`),
  KEY `IX_lot_not_sold_site` (`site`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AVG_ROW_LENGTH=114
/*!50100 PARTITION BY HASH (DAY(added))
PARTITIONS 4 */ 

Is it possible to fix this error? Is is possible there are way many errors because repair added ~2k rows?

I googled sone pages mentioned very old bug but my instance is not too old:

mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.66, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1

MyISAM was choosen because of performance reason. Now I'm considering switching to InnoDB - is it the right way? This table constantly modified.

Thank you.

You can try to use the REPAIR TABLE myTable USE_FRM

"Probably" your .MYI file is missing or have corrupted headers

This option tells MySQL not to trust the information in the .MYI file header and to re-create it using information from the .frm file

However before proceed check the documentation of your MySQL 5.1 version and make a backup copy of your .MYI,.frm, and .MYD file in order to avoid loss of data
