Hi, Are you trying to stop the DFS with same user or different user?
Could you check whether these processes are running or not using 'jps' or 'ps' .

I start my HDFS by using :start-dfs.sh. And add the node start successfully. However the stop-dfs.sh dose not work when I want to stop the HDFS. It shows : no namdenode to stop no datanode to stop. I have to stop it by the command: kill -9 pid. So I wonder that how the stop-dfs.sh does not work no longer? Best regards
