> Whenever we restart a cluster, there's a chance of losing some blocks if more than three datanodes don't come up.
> HDFS-457 increases this chance by keeping the datanodes up even when 
>    # /tmp disk goes read-only
>    # /disk0 that is used for storing PID goes read-only 
> and probably more.
> In our environment, /tmp and /disk0 are from the same device.
> When trying to restart a datanode, it would fail with

> I can recover the missing blocks but it takes some time.
> Also, we are losing track of block movements since log directory can also go to read-only but datanode would continue running.
> For 0.21 release, can we revert HDFS-457 or make it configurable?
