It seems I've played too much with bug 6269: https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-6269 As a result, a table has crashed: MariaDB [test]> DROP TABLE user; ERROR 1051 (42S02): Unknown table 'test.user' MariaDB [test]> REPAIR TABLE user; +-----------+--------+----------+---------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +-----------+--------+----------+---------------------------------+ | test.user | repair | Error | Table 'test.user' doesn't exist | | test.user | repair | status | Operation failed | +-----------+--------+----------+---------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) Errlog agrees: 140527 12:23:56 [ERROR] mysqld: Table './mysql/spider_tables' is marked as crashed and should be repaired The question is: how should I repair it? mysql.spider_tables is already empty. REPAIR TABLE does not work. Can't find a variable to force recovery on restart. DROP and CREATE OR REPLACE are impossible, as shown above. Is there another way? Should I report this as a bug?
