Ok that's fine. Now can I create files directly on new partition ? - My requirement is, If I write file from one node, It should be visible to other node which running under cluster at the same time.
Also If I add new partition, shall I need to restart DFS and mapred ? Regards, Yuvrajsinh Chauhan || Sr. DBA || CRESTEL-PSG Elitecore Technologies Pvt.

And we don't have to worry as far as writing the data to a new storage is concerned. As soon as additional resources are added to the cluster the metadata is updated. Namenode takes care of all that.
