Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for raising the issue.
We will need more information about your configuration files.
It sounds like a problem noted by Todd in HDFS-909.
If edits directory precedes image in configuration, then edits
will be emptied prior to saving the image.
Any way it worth filing a jira on that, and attach logs, config file,
whatever you may find helpful for reproducing the problem.
Thanks,
--Konstantin Shvachko
