------------------------------------------------

I would like to suggest 
Pls correct me if am wrong

namespace id is getting updated immediately after one of the disks of the dfs.data.dir got updated. 
instead update the namespace id after parsing all the dfs.data.dir storage directories

> After restarting a cluster (including rebooting) the dfs got corrupted because many DataNodes did not start up, running into the following exception:
> 2009-02-26 22:33:53,774 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DataNode: org.apache.hadoop.dfs.InconsistentFSStateException: Directory xxx  is in an inconsistent state: version file in current directory is missing.

> This happens when using multiple disks with at least one previously marked as read-only, such that the storage version became out-dated, but after reboot it was mounted read-write, resulting in the DataNode not starting because of out-dated version.
> This is a big headache. If a DataNode has multiple disks of which at least one has the correct storage version then out-dated versions should not bring down the DataNode.
