Carl Yeksigian commented on CASSANDRA-7838:
-------------------------------------------
It looks like the SIGAR library isn't rich enough to provide whether or not the
storage is some SAN or EBS. SIGAR only provides the storage type based on how
the disk is formatted; an EBS or SAN volume will be formatted as a normal drive
would be, so we will incorrectly label it as LOCAL_DISK. It will only catch
cases such as an NFS or CIFS mount.
If we can find a different use for SIGAR, most of the setup work is done; I
don't think we should include this for the network check, though.

> It would be nice on start-up to use this to warn users if they are running
> with settings that will make them sad, like Network drive or EBS on Ec2.
