Following the suggestion: [da...@tweety java]$ hadoop fs -ls /tmp Found 1 items drwxr-xr-x - root supergroup 0 2009-10-06 15:15 /tmp/hadoop-root [da...@tweety java]$ hadoop fs -touchz /tmp/foobar.txt touchz: org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: user=david, access=WRITE, inode="tmp":root:supergroup:rwxr-xr-x
We seem to be on the right track. Before I change permissions on /tmp/hadoop-root any idea why it didn't get built with the right permissions in the first place? I've let hadoop build all of its directories for HDFS. I assume that adding write access for groups should solve the problem.
