Hi All - I have a 13 node cluster running Cassandra 4.0.1. If I stop a
node, edit the cassandra.yaml file, comment out the first drive in the
list, and restart the node, it fails to start saying that a node already
exists in the cluster with the IP address.
If I put the drive back into the list, the node still fails to start
with the same error. At this point the node is useless and I think the
only option is to remove all the data, and re-boostrap it?

If I remove a drive other than the first one, this problem doesn't
occur. Any other options? It appears that if it the first drive in the
list goes bad, or is just removed, that entire node must be replaced.
