Ravi Phulari commented on HDFS-218:
-----------------------------------

Apparently auto activating  safemode is bad idea because it will stop any Name 
node activities and halt all job submissions.  

At best we can warn administrator about low disk space, or administrators can 
use tools to monitor disk usage. 




> name node should provide status of dfs.name.dir's

> We've had several reports of people letting their dfs.name.dir fill up.  To 
> help prevent this, the name node web ui and perhaps dfsadmin -report or 
> another command should give a disk space report of all dfs.name.dir's as well 
> as whether or not the contents of that dir are actually being used, if the 
> copy is "good", last 2ndary name node update, and any thing else that might 
> be useful.
