version has not been cleaned up)

> After restarting a cluster (including rebooting) the dfs got corrupted 
> because many DataNodes did not start up, running into the following exception:
> 2009-02-26 22:33:53,774 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DataNode: 
> org.apache.hadoop.dfs.InconsistentFSStateException: Directory xxx  is in an 
> inconsistent state: version file in current directory is missing.
>       at 
> org.apache.hadoop.dfs.Storage$StorageDirectory.analyzeStorage(Storage.java:326)
>       at 
> org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DataStorage.recoverTransitionRead(DataStorage.java:105)
>       at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DataNode.startDataNode(DataNode.java:306)
>       at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DataNode.<init>(DataNode.java:223)

>       at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DataNode.main(DataNode.java:3115)
> This happens when using multiple disks with at least one previously marked as 
> read-only, such that the storage version became out-dated, but after reboot 
> it was mounted read-write, resulting in the DataNode not starting because of 
> out-dated version.
> This is a big headache. If a DataNode has multiple disks of which at least 
> one has the correct storage version then out-dated versions should not bring 
> down the DataNode.
