Corrupt MySQL log file - cannot start the database My VM ran out of disk space and MySQL wasn't able to write to the log file causing it to crash. Here is the log file:

I've tried to remove the ib_log* file in /var/lib/mysql and set innodb_force_recovery = 3 in my.cnf file. But received the same error. Any help appreciated.
Was able to do a mysqldump, remove everything. Do a clean reinstall of mysql and import it back. Thanks for the help !
