Yes.  This node has repeatedly given problems while reading various =
sstables.  So I decided to start with a fresh data dir, relying on the =
fact that with an RF=3D3, the data will be able to be retrieved from the =
cluster.

Since this is a seed node, I am a little unsure how to proceed.  =46rom =
everything I've read, bootstrapping a seed is not a good idea.  One idea =
I had was to change the IP, bootstrap, and change the IP back.    But I =
just tried nodetool move 0 to try, with the hopes that it might work.
