Reply To: Ambari 2.1 NameNode directories cann’t start with home(s)

Bill,

You can wait until Ambari 2.1.1 comes out or you can apply a hotfix on top of 2.1.0.

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-12612 for instructions on how to apply (I’ve just updated the JIRA).

I hope the fix works for you.
