----------------------------------------
thanks Eli/Koji for the explanation. are you saying that the datanode will
watch over the root disk at "/" even though the datanode does not store any
hdfs data blocks on the root disk? Or will the datanode watch over the root
disk only if there is a data directory configured inside it?
> 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.
