The namenode ran out of disk space and on restart was throwing the error
at the end of this message.
We copied in the edit.tmp to edit from the secondary, and copied in
srcimage to fsimage, and removed edit.new and our file system started up
and /appears/ to be intact.
What is the proper procedure, we didn't find any details on the wiki.
