Maybe this is a bad sign -- the edits.new was created before the master node crashed, and is huge:
-bash-3.2$ ls -lh /hadoop/hadoop-metadata/cache/dfs/name/current total 41G -rw-r--r-- 1 hadoop hadoop 3.8K Jan 27 2011 edits -rw-r--r-- 1 hadoop hadoop 39G Dec 17 00:44 edits.new -rw-r--r-- 1 hadoop hadoop 2.5G Jan 27 2011 fsimage -rw-r--r-- 1 hadoop hadoop 8 Jan 27 2011 fstime -rw-r--r-- 1 hadoop hadoop 101 Jan 27 2011 VERSION could this mean something was up with our SecondaryNameNode and rolling the edits file?
