Also, documentation error, it's a monthly repair not a nightly repair. And we recommend it should be turned on.  (it only runs on the master).

If the master has been down for an extended period (days), then it's probably best to add it like a new slave rather than just reconnect it as the master...

Hi,

I've been using mirroring for a couple of months and I would get this odd message telling me that things have been repaired on the 15th. So I decided to find out what this was about.

Turns out I had this repair setting on both the master and the slave, so I turned off the slave setting. But then I got to wondering about this instruction:

This setting runs a nighly resync to keep the cluster in sync. Maybe be resource intensive on a large system! This should always be disabled during a failure as it could cause messages loss when the master is re connected.

If the master has failed, how exactly would one get in to the setting to turn this off? Only thing I can think of is to hope that when the master came back up, it didn't have any network access. And gosh, one more thing to remember before putting it back online?
