We clearly need to change the "how to configure" docs to make sure
people put at least two directories on two different storage systems for the
dfs.name.dir . This problem seems to happen quite often, and having two+
dirs helps protect against it.
We recently had one of the disks on one of our copies go bad. The
system kept going just fine until we had a chance to reconfig the name node.
That said, I've just HADOOP-4080 to help alert admins in these
situations.
