Running Hadoop examples halt in Pseudo-Distributed mode

Every thing run well in Standalone mode and when going to the pseudo-distributed mode, the HDFS works well, I can put files to HDFS and browse it. And I also checked that there is one DataNode in the live nodes lists.

However, when I run bin/hadoop jar hadoop-*-examples.jar grep input output 'dfs[a-z.]+', the program just halt there without producing any error. And from http://ereg.adobe.com:50070/dfsnodelist.jsp?whatNodes=LIVE I can see that nothing has ever been run on that DataNode.

I followed the configuration in the tutorial for those xml conf f开发者_开发百科iles. So anyone have any idea about what other mistakes I might have made? B.T.W, I'm running the stuffs on Mac OS X.

By halt, do you mean it hangs, or that it just silently returns? For Mapreduce issues, you should check the JobTracker's webpage (at port 50030) to see the status of the submitted job.
