/dfs/namesecondary下只有current的空文件夹和lastcheckporint.tmp（文件名记不清了）文件，检查logs，发现如下错误：

google的解决办法，在hdfs-site.xml文件添加如下属性：
<property>
<name>dfs.http.address</name>
<value>{your_namenode_ip}:50070</value>
<description>
The address and the base port where the dfs namenode web ui will listen on.
If the port is 0 then the server will start on a free port.

</property>
