MySQL MyIsam Compressing tables Im packing big MyISAM tables with myisampack and came up with the following issue. (MariaDB 10.1.14 64bit windows)
Indexes are rebuilt after packing the tablewhile running myisamchk -rq, so, it doesnt make sense to create/have them beforehand. After compressing a table without indexes and trying to recreate all indexes at once, i've noted that the table is uncompressed back.

Is there a way which i could modify the frm in a way i could rebuild the indexes without uncompressing the table?

Does MySQL use the uncompressed index in order to build the compressed index?

Thanks!

I will try to :

Create empty table with indexes
DISABLE KEYS 
Load Data
myisampack table 
myisamchk -rq

Hopefully myisamchk will build the indexes without ENABLE KEYS
