Sandy - I suggest you take a look into your NameNode and DataNode logs. From the information posted, these likely would be at
/Users/hadoop/hadoop-0.18.2/bin/../logs/hadoop-hadoop-namenode-loteria.cs.tamu.edu.log /Users/hadoop/hadoop-0.18.2/bin/../logs/hadoop-hadoop-jobtracker-loteria.cs.tamu.edu.log If the cause isn't obvious from what you see there, could you please post the last few lines from each log? -jw On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 3:28 PM, Sandy <snickerdoodl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I would really appreciate any help I can get on this!
