failed to format namenode dir: timed out

[#1]

ubuntu14.04

ClouderManager 5.12

I deployed the cluster and got error at this step: cluster settings.

start HDFS  ------->  format namenode dir failed :

Command aborted because of exception: Command timed-out after 90 seconds

$> hdfs/hdfs.sh ["format-namenode","cluster16"]

stdout :

really really thank you ,if you could help 

I'm really really hopeless

Could you let me know if you are trying to perform single or multinode cluster ? 

Would you consider sharing the logs of  namenode 

/var/log/hadoop-hdfs/ 

looks like a permission error to me , it is not able to create directory .

no log output. multinode cluster. just the stdout I've given above
I use apt-get to install the ClouderManager,It would create the user: cloudera-scm automaticly .

....oh god
