Do you have any pointers on how to resolve this? We can see no issues reported in the syslog or on the RAID or ESXi. We changed the filesystem from xfs to ext4, still we get the same error. I am attaching some more signatures here in case anyone has any comments.. ERROR [CompactionExecutor:207

Sounds like you're simply throwing more seq scans at it via m/r than your disk can handle. iostat could confirm that disk is the bottleneck. But "real" monitoring would be better. http://www.datastax.com/products/opscenter On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 1:02 AM, Patrik Modesto wrote: > Hi Jake, > > I s

Once you get all of the data on one machine you can then flush/drain/compact shutdown the single node and then take the data folder off that machine and back it up. Then when you get your new cassandra cluster setup you can use the sstable loader to shoot the data from the backup into the new
