Bharath Mundlapudi commented on HDFS-1848:
------------------------------------------
That was the problem earlier, Koji. With the fixes went in for Disk Fail
Inplace, we can restart datanode with failed disks until volumes tolerated is
reached.
But when a root or critical partition fails its fair to assume datanode
shouldn't be restarted, because that is where all system logs or confs were
present and this disk is unusable.
> 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.
