I keep getting an error when trying to configure Datastax Enterprise (my first Cassandra cluster) on Google Cloud Platform, specifically when following the tutorial here: DataStax Enterprise Deployment Guide for Google Compute Engine - Manual
ssh into new machine called customizer
When I copy and paste the script, or completely retype the script on pico or vi (script found under "Create a customized OS image") and try to run it I get the error ./customizer.sh: line 21: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' because of this line:
patch --backup /usr/share/google/safe_format_and_mount < #MOUNT_OPTIONS="discard,defaults" > MOUNT_OPTIONS="defaults,discard,noauto,noatime,barrier=0"
SFAM
Any idea what this line should look like to not get this error? When I try to remove the < and > the terminal gets hung up and i have to ctrl+c to get out.
Here is the full script:
#!/bin/bash
#This script can be applied to a running GCE instance
#to prep it for running DSE on SSD based storage, assumed
#to be mounted at /dev/sdb. After this script has been applied,
#a GCE image can be created accordin to the instructions at the
#Image creation guide: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/images#creatingimage
#Base OS list: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/operating-systems#backportsimages

Thanks for pointing this out and sorry for the inconvenience - this is actually an issue with our documentation. Some of the characters were stripped out when we moved to a new content management system. We are in the process of fixing this as soon as possible.
