Is there a chance to bring the nfs gateway on HDP 2.5 sandbox up

[#1]

NFS Gateway Service seems to be broken on HDP 2.5 sanbox. I only see 0/1 Services started. Is there a chance to fix it quickly?

[#2]

@Marc Schriever according to release notes for HDP 2.5 Sandbox, nfs is up automatically http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/hortonworks-sandbox-guide/#section_1

HDFS Portmap – org.apache.hadoop.portmap.Portmap NameNode – org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode DataNode – org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode Nfs

Portmap – Unlike the other processes that are launched by hdfs user, these are run as root user. The nfs process doesn’t show up as a name for jps output

[#3]

Im wondering since the Amabari interface indicates, that the NFS Gateway is not started.

When I try to start it manually by typing

hdfs nfs3

I get the following error message

I didn't changed anything (except the admin password) on the sandbox environment.

@Marc Schriever can you check permissions on /tmp directory

[#5]

[root@sandbox ~]# ls -la / | grep tmp
drwxrwxrwt   1 root  root    4096 Oct  7 09:25 tmp

When I try to create the directory manually, it doesn't work because of the following error message:

[root@sandbox ~]# mkdir -p /tmp/.hdfs-nfs
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/.hdfs-nfs': Invalid Argument

If I try to create any other Directory, it works fine.

[root@sandbox ~]# mkdir -p /tmp/.hdfs-nfs_
[root@sandbox ~]#

Something blocks the creation of the Directory, but I don't know what.

[#6]

@Marc Schriever

do ls on the directory, I believe it already exists, you just need to give it more permissions rather than try to create it.

[#7]

The Directory doesn't exist in /tmp.

[root@sandbox tmp]# ls -latr *hdfs-nfs*
ls: cannot access *hdfs-nfs*: No such file or directory

[#8]

up ? i've the same issue

[#9 · Accepted solution]

Change the nfs dump directory to /tmp/.nfs OR /tmp/.hdfsnfs (remove - in the directory name) instead of /tmp/.hdfs-nfs via Ambari configs page. This will solve the issue.

[#10]

Yes, after changing the directory name for 'NFSGateway dump directory' it works for me.
