What is your config set to for mapred local dirs? And what are the permissions
to those directories?
All users need executable permissions in all the paths up to the local-dir so
that they can create their own directories in there. For e.g. if one of the
mapred local dir is /a/b/c/mapred, then
I have a test environment with hadoop 1.1.1 setup with Kerberos and
yesterday I zapped my mapred.local.dir on the job and task trackers as part
of some cleanup. When I started the task trackers back up I was unable to
run MR jobs. This seems like a permission issue, but I can't figure out
what it
