Hello, I'm doing some test with cassandra 1.0.8 using multiple data directories with individual disks in a three node cluster (replica=3). One of the tests was to replace a couple of disks and start a repair process. It started ok and refilled the disks but I noticed that after the recovery process finished, it started a new one again:

To me it doesn't make much sense. Regards, Nuno
