copyFromLocal: File does not exist.
I have a CDH3 cluster up and running. I'm on the namenode and trying to
copy a file into HDFS. However, whenever I run copyFromLocal, I get a file
does not exist error.
[root@node1-0 ~]# sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /root/url.txt /
copyFromLocal: File /root/url.txt does not exist.
What am I doing wrong? url.txt exists in /root on the local filesystem.
Thanks.

probably user hdfs does not have access to /root on your local file system.
I would copy the file to /tmp and give it appropriate permissions and then try again.

use ls -l to check if hdfs has the right to access url.txt.
