mythconverg_backup.pl only produces a very small file (under 1KB,
previous backups are about 10MB).  I ran it with --verbose and get the
following at the end:

"mysqldump exited with status: 2
mysqldump output:
mysqldump: Got error: 144: Table './mythconverg/recordedseek' is
marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed when using LOCK
TABLES"

So it looks like this error is going to prevent me from making a
backup. If I can't back it up is optimize_mythdb.pl still my best bet?

Thanks,
