All OS disks on the cluster server are broken,
Therefore, I need to install a new OS and set up hdfs

However, all data disks are considered available
name node has "edits" file and "fsimage" file,
There are "blk" and "blk meta" files in the data node.

Is it possible to restore hdfs data based on block data in this situation?

It's a self-help answer.

The solution I solved is as follows.
Note, I don't know if this is the right way.

1. Reinstall hdfs
2. Set up a different data directory than before
3. Verify that it runs normally
4. Change the data directory to the old path
5. hdfs restart
6. hdfs fall into safe mode, but data that existed in hdfs could be queried
7. Download the data to the local space using the 'copyToLocal' command
8. Afterwards, restore by transferring to the newly installed data directory

@Remme Though the procedure you followed might have helped you, with a larger cluster with TBs of Data, this is not a viable option. In that case, would advise working with Cloudera Support.
