Default MyISAM engine: worst case scenario in case of crash (mysql, O/S,hardware, whatever)

Hi,

is it possible that due to OS crash or mysql itself crash or some e.g.
SCSI failure to lose all the data stored in the table (let's say million
of 1KB rows). In other words what is the worst case scenario for MyISAM
backend?


Also is it possible to not to lose data but get them corrupted?


Thx, Andy
