ESTIMATE.: 0 PROGRESS NOTES: DESCRIPTION: We regularly run into tables that are marked as crashed (shown in syslog). If MySQL is marking the table as crashed, why is there no way to get a list of tables marked as such? That would make it much faster to check/repair such tables automatically without the need to run a check on ALL tables.

From IRC: (04:04:58 PM) montywi: myisamchk -d */*.MYI ; search for 'marked' (04:05:09 PM) montywi: -d (--describe) is safe to do (04:05:59 PM) montywi: best thing would probably would be to add an option ' IF_CRASHED' to CHECK TABLE (04:06:48 PM) montywi: in that case one could trivially use mysqlcheck to find out crashed tables and then automaticly, if so desired, run repair on them
