datanode have no enough space

Mondi — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 05:27:22 GMT

My datanode is currently giving me this warning below:

/dfs/dn is in a filesystem that reaches the threshold for free space.

I have a 2nd disk mounted on /data and I'm thinking of moving the datanode filesystem under /data to have free space, is it possible to do that with no significant effect in the cluster?

because i have this same issue also with Namenode and I think if I changed the path there also, fsimage is still retail on the original path..

@Mondi Yes you can move the paths. Just be sure to shut down hdfs, move the data, then update the paths in hdfs config. Additionally you can also symlink the old path to the new path. Be sure to complete this on all nodes reporting the limited disk size.
