Robbie Strickland commented on CASSANDRA-5196:
----------------------------------------------
In my case the directories were owned by "cassandra" and the service was
started as "cassandra" using init. Even starting as root resulted in the same
failure. Only deleting the directories entirely resolved the issue. This
worked in my case because it was an old installation and I didn't need the
data, but it took me a while to figure this out since the exception was so
misleading.
