Hi
My problem is not that my data is under replicated. I have 3
data nodes. In my hadoop-site.xml I also set the configuration as:
<property>
<name>dfs.replication</name>
<value>2</value>
</property>
But after this also data is replicated on 3 nodes instead of two nodes.
Now, please tell what can be the problem?
Thanks & Regards
Aseem Puri

Aseem,
Regd over-replication, it is mostly app related issue as Alex mentioned.
But if you are concerned about under-replicated blocks in fsck output :
These blocks should not stay under-replicated if you have enough nodes
and enough space on them (check NameNode webui).
Try grep-ing for one of the blocks in NameNode log (and datnode logs as
well, since you have just 3 nodes).
