Thanks Jared. This is probably my solution, however, I can't seem to drop this table.
This is probably a basic mysql question, but how can I force a drop or remove a lock? When I try to drop the table, it just sits there waiting for the table:
mysql> show processlist;
+----+-----------+-----------+------+---------+------+-------------------+---------------------+
| Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State |
Info
|
+----+-----------+-----------+------+---------+------+-------------------+---------------------+
| 7 | kohaadmin | localhost | koha | Query | 31 | Waiting for table | drop table sessions |
| 8 | kohaadmin | localhost | koha | Query | 0 | NULL | show processlist |
+----+-----------+-----------+------+---------+------+-------------------+---------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>
IS there a way to "force the drop" or unlock the table? I am having no luck searching google.
Edward
Edward,
Drop the table then recreate it. Your users will have to log in again, but that's it. I'm not sure that will reclaim the disk space, though.

I am trying to work on a small, older Koha (3.0.2)install that is not longer working. Koha is having issues connecting to the database after a problem with diskspace. While checking the Mysql and log files, I've come across with a problem with the "sessions" table in Koha. a CHECK TABLES on it or a REPAIR just hangs forever. They have backups so I should be able to restore the whole database (or possibly just this table) but before I do, does anyone have any other alternative solutions? What does this table do?
Thanks,
Edward
