Hi stephen, I have never added a node via OpsCenter, so this may be a short coming of that process. However in non OpsCenter installs you would have to create the data directories first:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/cassandra/commitlog sudo mkdir -p /mnt/cassandra/data sudo mkdir -p /mnt/cassandra/saved_caches And then give the cassandra user ownership of those directories: sudo chown -R "cassandra:cassandra" /mnt/cassandra Once this is done Cassandra will have the correct directories and permission to start up.
