MySQL NEVER delete ib_logfile0 or ibdata1 or you'll lose data

don't delete /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile0 or ibdata1 or mysql won't restart
I didn't realize they were internal and not part of replication like the relay files!

110127 17:40:56 InnoDB error:
Cannot find table psa/misc from the internal data dictionary
of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists. Maybe you
have deleted and recreated InnoDB data files but have forgotten
to delete the corresponding .frm files of InnoDB tables, or you
have moved .frm files to another database?
Look from section 15.1 of http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html
how you can resolve the problem.

service psa restart
