Todays (6/16) mysql errors

[Steve St.Laurent]

Last night our host facility was making a major power grid upgrade that necessated them shutting down the power to the entire building (all 10 stories of it). It was expected to only be off for a matter of minutes so I left our server up and running on the UPS. I asked them to let me know if they thought it would be off for more than 15 minutes. It ended up being off for ~2 hours and our UPS kept the server up and running for 30 minutes. At that point it shut down. I checked this morning and everything seemed to have come back up ok and was running fine. However, there was some corruption to the indexes. About an hour ago I was trying to do some searches and got error messages and then noticed nobody had posted in approximately 30 minutes. I then shut down the mysql server and began the index repair process. That is all done now and things should be back to normal. Let me know if you have any problems. Sorry for any inconvenience.
