You fail to see the obvious.... It is just the fact that most of the data is stale that makes the question interesting in the first place, and I would obviously not have asked if there would be an I/O throughput problem in doing this. Now, when that is said, we tested a repair on a set of nodes that was 70-80% full and no luck. Ran out of disk :( Terje
