Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-580:
---------------------------------------

My gut tells me that since there are zero blocks assigned, the name node is just happy to get a response not really caring what that response is.

> If one brings up a freshly formatted name node against older data nodes with an incompatible storage id (such that the datanodes fail with Directory /mnt/u001/dfs-data is in an inconsistent state: is incompatible with others.), the name node will still come out of safe mode.  Writes will partially succeed--entries are created, but all are zero length.
