Error in Cassandra system.log: java.io.IOException: Permission denied

I am getting the following exception on a completely blank cluster on all nodes. There is absolutely nothing in there. There is no reason that I could gather.

INFO [FlushWriter:5] 2013-07-18 03:20:05,250 Memtable.java (line 495) Completed flushing /media/ephemeral0/cassandra/data/system/peers/system-peers-ic-7-Data.db (122 bytes) for commitlog position ReplayPosition(segmentId=1372450799758, position=452016)

So, now when I see nodetool info on the node I see that both gossip and thrift is down.

Token            : (invoke with -T/--tokens to see all 256 tokens)

Heap Memory (MB) : 1180.89 / 4016.00
Data Center      : us-west
Rack             : 1b

Key Cache        : size 2800 (bytes), capacity 104857600 (bytes), 340 hits, 365 requests, NaN recent hit rate, 14400 save period in seconds
Row Cache        : size 0 (bytes), capacity 0 (bytes), 0 hits, 0 requests, NaN recent hit rate, 0 save period in seconds

I could restart them without any issues from nodetool. Any clue?

"Permission denied" is your smoking gun. Looks like the Cassandra doesn't have permission to write to the data directories you configured.
