I had a server crash due to a broken iSCSI link (the filesystem went into read-only mode). After repairing the link and rebooting the machine (CentOS 5 / MySQL 5.1), the MySQL server would not start and gave the following error:
100603 19:11:46 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

InnoDB: You can try to recover the database with the my.cnf
InnoDB: option:
InnoDB: innodb_force_recovery=6
100603 19:11:46 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended
Per the error message, I have tried setting set-variable=innodb_force_recovery=6 in the my.cnf to get to the data. This allows the MySQL server to start. But when I try to do a mysqldump of the database or a SELECT * INTO OUTFILE "filename" FROM broken_table; it seems to endlessly just export the same line over and over again.
I have also tried http://code.google.com/p/innodb-tools/. But this tool fails with an error that 'blob' type is not supported.
If I try to access the data using the PHP application it crashes MySQL:
`100603 19:19:19 - mysqld got signal 11 ;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.
key_buffer_size=8384512
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=2
max_threads=151
threads_connected=2
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 338317 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Before recovering form an older backup as a last resort I am looking for anymore suggestions. Thanks!
