Note that if GCGraceSeconds is 10 days, you want to run repair often enough that there will never be a moment where there is more than exactly 10 days since the last successfully completed repair *STARTED*. When scheduling repairs, factor in things like - what happens if repair fails? Who gets alerted and how, and will there be time to fix the problem? How long does repair take? So basically, leave significant margin. -- / Peter Schuller
