I tried running hadoop on a nfs mounted home directory on a single node. But as the following tip on the wiki says, I am stuck with an issue:
"Don't use DFS on an NFS mount (this would be pretty stupid anyway, but just for testing, one might just set it up into an NFS homre directory). DFS uses locks, and NFS may be configured to not allow them." How to figure out if NFS uses locks ? Is there a work around for this problem ? As in disabling locks and proceeding . Any pointers would be helpful ! Thanks Prem
