So, if I well understand, the repair -full -local command resets the flag of sstables previously repaired. So even if I had some sstable already flagged, they won't be any more. - The actual data component is mutable, only a flag in the STATS sstable > component is mutated. > This is an important property I missed. That means that snapshots are succeptible to mutate as they are hard links of actual file. I also must care of this if I try to deduplicate files in a external backup system.
