title: hadoop fs commands are showing the local filesystem not the hdfs
body: <p>I installed hadoop in several laptops in order to form a hadoop cluster. First we installed in pseudo-distributed mode, and in all except one verything was perfect (i.e. all the services run, and when I do tests with <code>hadoop fs</code> it shows the <code>hdfs</code>). In the aftermentioned laptop (the one with problems) the <code>`hadoop fs -ls</code>command shows the information of the local directory <em>not</em> the <code>hdfs</code>, the same happens with the commands <code>-cat</code>, <code>-mkdir</code>, <code>-put</code>. What could I be doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated</p>
  
  <p>Here is my <code>core-site.xml</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
  &lt;?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?&gt;
  
  &lt;!-- Put site-specific property overrides in this file. --&gt;
  
  &lt;configuration&gt;
  &lt;property&gt;
   &lt;name&gt;hadoop.tmp.dir&lt;/name&gt;
   &lt;value&gt;/home/hduser/hdfs_dir/tmp&lt;/value&gt;
   &lt;description&gt;&lt;/description&gt;
  &lt;/property&gt;
  
  &lt;property&gt;
   &lt;name&gt;fs.default.name&lt;/name&gt;
   &lt;value&gt;hdfs://localhost:54310&lt;/value&gt;
   &lt;description&gt;.&lt;/description&gt;
  &lt;/property&gt;
  &lt;/configuration&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I must said, that this is the same file for all the other laptops, and they work fine.</p>
