I already have a 3node m3.large DSE cluster, but I can't seem to add another m3.large node. I'm using the ubuntu-trusty-14.04-amd64-server-20140607.1 (ami-a7fdfee2) AMI (instance-store backed, PV) on AWS, I install java 7 and the JNA, then I go into opscenter to add a node. Things look good for 3 or 4 green circles, until I either get this error: Start Errored: Timed out waiting for Cassandra to start. or this error: Agent Connection Errored: Timed out waiting for agent to connect.
I check the system.log and output.log, and they both say: INFO [main] 2014-08-27 08:17:24,642 CLibrary.java (line 121) JNA mlockall successful ERROR [main] 2014-08-27 08:17:24,644 CassandraDaemon.java (line 235) *Directory /mnt/cassandra/data doesn't exist* *ERROR [main] 2014-08-27 08:17:24,645 CassandraDaemon.java (line 239) Has no permission to create /mnt/cassandra/data directory* INFO [Thread-1] 2014-08-27 08:17:24,646 DseDaemon.java (line 477) DSE shutting down...

I feel like I'm missing something easy with the mount, so if you could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it! -- Stephen Portanova (480) 495-2634
