Mikhail Stepura commented on CASSANDRA-6449:
--------------------------------------------

NodeCmd honestly tries to ignore IOExceptions, the problem is that 
{{FBUtilities.getToolsOutputDirectory}} wraps IOExceptions in {{FSWriteError}},

{code:title=org.apache.cassandra.tools.NodeCmd.printHistory}
        FileWriter writer = null;
        try
        {
            final String outputDir = 
FBUtilities.getToolsOutputDirectory().getCanonicalPath();
.....
        }
        catch (IOException ioe)
        {
            //quietly ignore any errors about not being able to write out 
history
        }
        finally
        {
            FileUtils.closeQuietly(writer);
        }
{code}
