Repair table failed. Please run repair table.

~ Leo Petrazickis

One of the tables of my MediaWiki installation crashed. When I tried to repair it, I got this less-than-helpful error message. So did the mysqlcheck utility when I SSHed to the server. However, the command has extra options that can be used to repair high levels of corruptions, such as when the MYI is missing.

REPAIR TABLE tablename USE_FRM;
