Joaquin Casares commented on CASSANDRA-2190: -------------------------------------------- It was my fault, sorry. I had a line in the script bundled from before I started using the debian package that killed /var/lib/cassandra to make sure it was a fresh start. I told others of my mistake, but forgot about this JIRA ticket.
