Can't create directory with Hadoop command?

I've been starting NameNode and DataNode, but when I try to use HDFS command to make a directory(in any place), it doesn't work.

Here is my command:

./hdfs dfs  -mkdir -p /usr/master/datas

and I also trying to change the format of my path:

./hdfs dfs  -mkdir -p "/usr/master/datas"

but I get same result.

I'm just starting to learn big-data. Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue and how debug the issue?

/usr doesn't exist on HDFS. That's a Unix directory.

The user directory in HDFS is /user.

Plus, you need to be an HDFS superuser to create HDFS folders under the root path, or at least folders not owned by the current user.
