FUSE error: Transport endpoint is not connected

Question

I\'m trying to implement the FUSE filesystem. I am receiving this error:

cannot access MountDir: Transport endpoint is not connected

Answer 1

This typically is caused by the mount directory being left mounted due to a crash of your filesystem. Go to the parent directory of the mount point and enter fusermount -u YOUR_MNT_DIR.

If this doesn't do the trick, do sudo umount -l YOUR_MNT_DIR.

Answer 2

I mounted a ssh file system (sshfs command line) and left it mounted and I had same problem, fusermount -u YOUR_MNT_DIR solved my problem. Thanks

You may check your /etc/hosts to verify it the master node is with a fully qualified name. More details in https://community.cloudera.com/t5/CDH-Manual-Installation/Setting-the-NameNode-port-8020-to-listen-outside-of-localhost/td-p/2257 and in How to configure hosts file for Hadoop ecosystem
