<div dir="ltr"><div>I seem to be having no luck in bringing mysql back to life (see thread "How to repair mysql?"), which has made me myth-less for a couple of weeks now.<br><br>The prospect of reinstalling the whole of mythbuntu from zero on an empty partition is becoming increasingly likely.<br>
<br>The database backups I have in /var/lib/mythtv/db_backups are not as up to date as I'd like but on the other hand I do have a right-up-to-date copy of the whole of /var, thus including the database itself. The actual recordings are on other partitions or physical drives.<br>
<br></div>If I make myself a new / and a new /var and reinstall mythbuntu there, and then mount the recordings partitions somewhere accessible, can I just overwrite /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg with the equivalent from my backup or do I have to do something more elaborate?<br>
