Hey everyone,

I'm still unable to restart mysqld on my server that crashed. I'm afraid
that I won't be able to dump the current contents of the database so I can
reload it. I do have the contents of /var/lib/mysql which appears to be the
raw mysql tables. Is it possible to copy these files, reinstall the system,
put those files back, and get a working MySQL system?
