hadoop/hdfs/name is in an inconsistent state: storage directory(hadoop/hdfs/data/) does not exist or is not accessible

Question

I have tried all the different solutions provided at stackoverflow on this topic, but of no help Asking again with the specific log and the details

Any help is appreciated

I have one master node and 5 slave nodes in my Hadoop cluster. ubuntu user and ubuntu group is the owner of the ~/Hadoop folder Both the ~/hadoop/hdfs/data & ~/hadoop/hdfs/name folder exist

and permission for both the folders are set to 755

successfully formated the namenode before starting the script start-all.sh

THE SCRIPT FAILS TO LAUNCH THE "NAMENODE"

These are running at the master node

ubuntu@master:~/hadoop/bin$ jps

7067 TaskTracker
6914 JobTracker
7237 Jps
6834 SecondaryNameNode
6682 DataNode

ubuntu@slave5:~/hadoop/bin$ jps

31438 TaskTracker
31581 Jps
31307 DataNode

Below is the log from name-node log files.

Answer 1

Removed the "file:" from the hdfs-site.xml file

[WRONG HDFS-SITE.XML]

  <property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name>
  <value>file:/home/hduser/mydata/hdfs/namenode</value>
  </property>
  <property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.data.dir</name>
  <value>file:/home/hduser/mydata/hdfs/datanode</value>
  </property>

[CORRECT HDFS-SITE.XML]

  <property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name>
  <value>/home/hduser/mydata/hdfs/namenode</value>
  </property>


  <property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.data.dir</name>
  <value>/home/hduser/mydata/hdfs/datanode</value>
  </property>

Thanks to Erik for the help.
