Issue

  • StorageGRID UI reports CassandraRepairProgressSlow following a GRID expansion. 
  • From any storage node spreaper list-runs records a previous aborted job as expected during an expansion:
    • "blacklisted_tables": [],
          "cause": "auto-scheduled run (schedule id XXXXX)",
          "cluster_name": "storagegrid",
          "column_families": [
            "object_by_uuid",
            "s3_key_versions_by_bucket",
            "s3_multipart_uploads_by_bucket",
            "object_by_cbid",
            "object_by_version"
          ],
          "creation_time": "2026-10-01T06:25:23Z",
          "current_time": "2026-10-21T16:16:50Z",
          "datacenters": [],
          "duration": "14 days 11 hours 32 minutes 14 seconds",
          "end_time": "2026-10-15T17:57:38Z",
          "estimated_time_of_arrival": null,
          "id": "xxxxx",
          "incremental_repair": false,
          "intensity": 1.0,
          "keyspace_name": "storagegrid",
          "last_event": "Aborted based on topology changes",
          "nodes": [],
          "owner": "storagegrid",
          "pause_time": null,
          "repair_parallelism": "PARALLEL",
          "repair_thread_count": 4,
          "repair_unit_id": "xxxxx",
          "segments_repaired": 2857,
          "start_time": "2026-10-01T06:25:23Z",
          "state": "ABORTED",
          "total_segments": 5312 },
  • The current repairs are running slower based on the previous completion time of the repairs prior to the expansion:
    • Example:
      • Before expansion storagegrid schedule took ~4 days to complete:
        • "creation_time": "2026-09-26T16:53:29Z",
              "current_time": "2026-10-21T16:16:50Z",
              "duration": "4 days 13 hours 30 minutes 23 seconds",
              ...
              "keyspace_name": "storagegrid",
              "owner": "storagegrid",
              ...
              "segments_repaired": 5312,
              "state": "DONE",
              "total_segments": 5312
      • After expansion, schedule has been running for 5+ days and only 52 completed out of 5739:
        •    "creation_time": "2026-10-15T17:57:24Z",
              "current_time": "2026-10-21T16:16:50Z",
              "duration": "5 days 22 hours 19 minutes 25 seconds",
              ....    
              "id": "XXXXXXXX-c8c1-11f1-82e6-f1bd1a08aa4e",

              "keyspace_name": "storagegrid",
              "owner": "storagegrid",
              ...
              "segments_repaired": 52,
              "start_time": "2026-10-15T17:57:24Z",
