Only "special" thing about this first node is it receives all the writes from our sybase->cassandra import job. This process migrates an existing 60million rows into cassandra (before the cluster is /turned on/ for normal operations). The import job runs over ~20minutes. I wiped everything and started from scratch, this time running the import job with cassandra configured instead with: incremental_backups: false snapshot_before_compaction: false This created the problem then on another node. So changing to these settings on all nodes and running the import again fixed it: no more "Unable to create hard link ..." After the import i could turn both incremental_backups and snapshot_before_compaction to true again without problems so far. To me this says something is broken with incremental_backups and snapshot_before_compaction under heavy writing? ~mck
