There were some things going on with my server being transferred and my server went down whilst it was migrated, so I decided to do a backup once it came back up however I got this error;

mysqldump: Got error: 144: Table './databasename/topic_views' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed when using LOCK TABLES

I've checked Google with no avail, does anybody know how I would go about fixing this issue so I can complete a back up of my database (only got 2 days before the server goes, then I'm naff'd) Any help is appreciated.

This can be locked, solved it. For anybody else that may have this problem in the future.

Run a SQL Query in IPB Admin - REPAIR TABLE topic_views(or tablename)

I should of knew :P
