[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-650?page=comments#action_12445264 ] Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-650: --------------------------------------------
The problem is with the data not the software. You have illegal sub-directory "/" inside /user. That is why it loops. bin/hadoop dfs -ls /user Found 7 items /user <dir> / <dir> /user/mahadev <dir> .... The entries were probably created prior to HADOOP-423, which fixed the problem. But I don't know how to get rid of this entries now when we do not allow them. I guess a custom code should be written. > bin/hadoop dfs -lsr / is broken > ------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-650 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-650 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Mahadev konar > Priority: Minor > > bin/hadoop dfs -lsr / > used to work but seems like its broken now.
