You should be able to perform the following command: grep "blk_4722582869815671042" ./* > blockFileName.txt
from your namenode log directory as the block ID's will be recorded in your namenode logs. Then, look through blockFileName.txt to find the filename. It should be at the top if memory serves me correctly. -Shawn From: Ayon Sinha [mailto:ayonsi...@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, November 07, 2011 3:04 PM To: HDFS Mailinglist Subject: How to find file with bad block during Distcp Hi, How do I know which file has this block that is causing a Distcp to fail?
