Steve Loughran commented on ACCUMULO-1717:
------------------------------------------
For comparison, the tests in HADOOP-9361 explicitly test operations on root
directories: rename / subdir, rm -rf / &c -and I go to a lot of effort to make
sure that those tests do not run on the localFS.
> accumulo should refuse to init or start with a directory of / (especially
> file:///)

> Accumulo is happy to init the root directory of a file system. It's hard to
> see when this would ever be a good idea, especially if that filesystem is
> file:/// . A sanity check to catch this -a sign of a bad configuration- would
> stop accidentally damaging the filesystem
