Bharath Mundlapudi commented on HDFS-1848:
------------------------------------------

I am wondering if this is necessary? Typically, critical volume (eg the volume 
that hosts the OS, logs, pid, tmp dir etc.) is RAID-1 and if this goes down we 
can safely assume Datanode to be down. I am just curious to understand the 
usecase? Please refer to Disk Fail Inplace Jira. 

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7123

In our tests with disk failures, We have verified that if the root/critical 
volume fails, Datanode can't even start.  

> Datanodes should shutdown when a critical volume fails

> A DN should shutdown when a critical volume (eg the volume that hosts the OS, 
> logs, pid, tmp dir etc.) fails. The admin should be able to specify which 
> volumes are critical, eg they might specify the volume that lives on the boot 
> disk. A failure in one of these volumes would not be subject to the threshold 
> (HDFS-1161) or result in host decommissioning (HDFS-1847) as the 
> decommissioning process would likely fail.
