Rob, Thanks for all the tips. So I do have SSDs and I set the throttle to 0, and have started using the --parallel mode. It's taking me about 2.5 days to complete a node at this point.
I do have one other logistical question for you. My tables all have RF2 and I my topology is set to have one rac each in two different datacenters. Each datacenter has 12 nodes, for a grand total of 24. I am wondering if I am using nodetool repair --parallel and I have it scripted to sequentially walk through the cluster if I can have two scripts walking the cluster for each datacenter, or if I need to go through datacenter 1 and then through datacenter 2, before looping back and starting to walk through the cluster again.
