Dear Tariq, Values of both the properties are already configured in hdfs-site.xml file.
<property> <name>dfs.name.dir</name> <value>/usr/local/hadoopstorage/namenode</value> #Directories created with proper Hadoop user permission with R/W. <final>true</final> </property> <property> <name>dfs.data.dir</name> <value>/usr/local/hadoopstorage/datanode</value> <final>true</final> </property> ============================================================================ Command for creating a Directory [hadoop@rac1 bin]$ ./hadoop fs -mkdir /yuvi [hadoop@rac1 bin]$ [hadoop@rac1 bin]$ ./hadoop fs -ls ls: Cannot access .: No such file or directory. [hadoop@rac1 bin]$ But when I go on to that path, I cannot see any directory. However, I can see the directories from GUI. Also I cannot find any error in Logs from both the nodes.

Have you added thee following properties in your 'hdfs-site.xml' file ?? - dfs.name.dir - dfs.data.dir By default the values of these properties is the /tmp directoy. It is advisable to create 2 directories on your local FS and assign the complete paths of these directories as the values of above specified properties. And these are the locations where your metadata and actual data will be stored. (Another important reason to set these properties is that, on each restart the /tmp directory is emptied and all the data and Hdfs namespace info will be lost). Hope this helps.
