I've been running apache-cassandra 2.2.6 for a few years. Recently when I configured a new cassandra node and started Cassandra via "service start cassandra" on LINUX 6.5, I got the following exception. After cleaning out my data_file_directories I was able to successfully restart. Any ideas? Thanks ERROR [main] 2017-05-10 02:12:09,935 CassandraDaemon.java:638 - Exception encountered during startup org.apache.cassandra.exceptions.ConfigurationException: Unable to check disk space available to /usr/share/cassandra/data/commitlog.
