Hi I set up the property dfs.replication to 1 and I got this error while coping files to the DFS.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/software/Hadoop/hadoop-0.16.0]$ bin/hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal /home2/mtlinden/simdata/GASS-RDS-3-G/tm IDT 08/03/24 11:46:32 WARN fs.DFSClient: DataStreamer Exception: java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe 08/03/24 11:46:32 WARN fs.DFSClient: DFSOutputStream ResponseProcessor exception for block blk_-4394769012041379459java.net.SocketException: Connection reset at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:168) at java.io.DataInputStream.readFully(DataInputStream.java:178) at java.io.DataInputStream.readLong(DataInputStream.java:399) at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DFSClient$DFSOutputStream$ResponseProcessor.run(DFSClient.java:1726) I checked the web app and the node where I was performing the copy command had no space left and the rest of the data nodes where empty. I also run the same test with the balancer, and I got the same result. With no data balanced among all the data nodes. The purpose is to spread some temporary files with no replication. Just one instance of the file. thanks
