To add to the list of things repair does wrong in 0.7, we'll have to add that if one of the node participating in the repair (so any node that share a range with the node on which repair was started) goes down (even for a short time), then the repair will simply hang forever doing nothing. And no specific error message will be logged. That could be what happened. Again, recent releases of 0.8 fix that too. -- Sylvain > I stopped yesterday. maybe I should run repair again while disable > compaction on all nodes? > thanks! > > On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 6:57 AM, Peter Schuller > <peter.schul...@infidyne.com> wrote: >> >> > I think it is a serious problem since I can not "repair".....
