of my cores working, but immediately hit this error.  since then i started

You need to specify a path. Try  "bin/hadoop dfs -ls / "

error setting up hdfs?

hadoop@hadoop1:/usr/local/hadoop$ bin/hadoop dfs -ls
ls: Cannot access .: No such file or directory.

anyone else get this one?  i started changing settings on my box to get
all
of my cores working, but immediately hit this error.  since then i started
from scratch and have hit this error again.  what am i missing?

ok, things are working..  i must have forgotten what i did when first
setting up hadoop...

should these responses be considered inconsistent/an error?  hmm.

hadoop dfs -ls
error
hadoop dfs -ls /
irrelevant stuff about the path you're in
hadoop dfs -mkdir lol
works fine
hadoop dfs -ls
Found 1 items
drwxr-xr-x   - hadoop supergroup          0 2009-11-10 05:28
/user/hadoop/lol

thanks stephen.

You don't "need" to specify a path. If you don't specify a path argument for
ls, then it uses your home directory in HDFS ("/user/<yourusernamehere>").
When you first started HDFS, /user/hadoop didn't exist, so 'hadoop fs -ls'
--> 'hadoop fs -ls /user/hadoop' --> directory not found. When you mkdir'd
'lol', you were actually effectively doing "mkdir -p /user/hadoop/lol", so
then it created your home directory underneath of that.
