I've got 2 datanodes setup with the following configuration parameter:
        <property>
          <name>dfs.datanode.du.reserved</name>
          <value>429496729600</value>
<description>Reserved space in bytes per volume. Always leave this much space free for non dfs use.
          </description>
        </property>

Both are housed on 800GB volumes, so I thought this would keep about half the volume free for non-HDFS usage.

After some long running jobs last night, both disk volumes were completely filled. The bulk of the data was in:
${my.hadoop.tmp.dir}/hadoop-hadoop/dfs/data

This is running as the user hadoop.

Am I interpretting these parameters incorrectly?

I noticed this issue, but it is marked as closed: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2549
