Hi Jyothish,

I had exactly the same problem and I solved it. To answer your question: as for me, HDFS and NFS are totally incompatible;) However, you may configure MadReduce to run on NFS only, without HDFS. See the last but one post here:
http://old.nabble.com/Hadoop-over-Lustre--td19092864.html
I did it and it works very well for NFS too (note that old hadoop-site.xml was splited to core-site.xml, mapred-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml in newer releases). Let me know if you have any problems with this configuration.

Jyothish,

as far as i know it is not recommended to run Hadoop on NFS, you suppose to use use local volumes for all mapred and dfs directories

    Though sufficient is available, hence my question.
     Is HDFS and NFS compatible?.
