Yasir,
How many nodes are in the cluster? What is num_tokens set to in the Cassandra.yaml file? Is it just this one node doing this? What replication factor do you use that affects the ranges on that disk?

This might be the root-cause of your issue. Which version of C* are you using? Unfortunately, don't remember in which version this imbalance issue was fixed. -- Kyrill _____ From: Yasir Saleem <yasirsaleem9...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, March 9, 2018 1:34:08 PM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: uneven data movement in one of the disk in Cassandra Hi Alex, no active compaction, right now.
