Thank you for your quick response. Is there a way to tell when a snapshot is completely done?

Our cassandra systems data is on an EBS volume Best practice for Cassandra on AWS is to run on ephemeral stripe, not EBS. so we can take snapshots of the data and create volumes based on those snapshots and restore them where we want to. https://github.com/synack/tablesnap ? How can I tell when a snapshot is fully complete so I do not have corrupted SSTables? SStables are immutable after they are created. I'm not sure how you're getting a snapshot that has corrupted SSTables in it. If you can repro reliably, file a JIRA on issues.apache.org. =Rob
