我在伪分布式模式下运行hadoop1.2.1，namenode和datanode都在同一个虚拟机上。datanode有4个卷。我正在做一些关于在hadoop中使用非常小的块大小（4k，8k，…）的测试。复制因子设置为1。
将块大小设置为8k时，我可以使用以下方法将64mb文件复制到hdfs：

bin/hadoop fs -put my64mbfile .

尽管在运行命令时，我多次出现以下异常：

之后，我重新格式化并重新启动hadoop。
当我调用相同的命令，但块大小为4k时，我仍然得到上面的警告，最终我得到了这个错误（只有大约一半的文件被复制到hdfs之后）：

datanode可以处理的块的数量有限制吗？或者namenode对于对象的数量是否有其他限制（除了dfs.namenode.fs limits.max blocks per file）？
对于4k的情况，块的总量应该是16384块，这意味着每个卷约4100块，这意味着每个卷约8200个文件（包括元数据文件）。
