Do you see anything related to "merkle" tree in your log? Also do a nodetool compactionstats, during merkle tree calculation, you will see validation there.

Load, cpu, etc are all near zero. There are no other repair jobs running in my cluster. What's the recommended way to deal with a hung repair job? Is it the symptom of a larger problem? More info follows... On the node where the repair is running/hung, "nodetool tpstats" shows 1 Active and 1 Pending AntiEntropySessions. "nodetool netstats" reports Not sending any streams. Not receiving any streams. I created this cluster by copying and restoring snapshots from another cluster. The new cluster has the same number of nodes and same tokens as the original. However, the rack assignment is different: the new cluster uses a single rack, the original cluster uses multiple racks. The replication strategy is SimpleStrategy for all keyspaces. Details: 6 node cluster cassandra 1.2.2 RandomPartitioner, EC2Snitch Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 EC2 m1.large Thanks, Dane
