[drupal-support] repair watchdog props

[Boerland Bert]

Hi

My hosts died on me in an ugly way, and I am stuck with a not working watchdog table (all other tables I was able to repair)

This results in not being able to go to /admin (/admin/block etc work) since the logs are presented on the first admin page (if this is needed in the first place is another question)

I tried to repair the table but it fails
mysql> repair table watchdog;
+----------------+--------+----------+-----------------------------+
| Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text |
+----------------+--------+----------+-----------------------------+
| willy.watchdog | repair | error | 28 when writing to datafile |
| willy.watchdog | repair | error | 28 when writing to datafile |
| willy.watchdog | repair | status | Operation failed |
+----------------+--------+----------+-----------------------------+

Since watchdog is only used for the admin, I think I can just delete the table and recreate it? Is this the case and if so, could someone give some instructions for a 4.5 instalation?
