hadoop格式化失败原因 Format aborted in path

user6@das0 hadoop-0.20.203.0]$ bin/hadoop namenode -format

12/02/20 14:05:17 INFO namenode.NameNode: STARTUP_MSG: 

Re-format filesystem in /data0/hadoop-name ? (Y or N) y

Format aborted in /data0/hadoop-name

12/02/20 14:05:20 INFO namenode.NameNode: SHUTDOWN_MSG: 

随后启动hadoop, 发现http://das0:5007无法显示。

将/data0/hadoop-name文件夹整个删除。然后再格，成功！！！

问题总结：

在对namenode格式化之前，要确保dfs.name.dir参数指定的目录不存在。

Hadoop这样做的目的是防止错误地将已存在的集群格式化了
