Why does /dbfs seem to be empty in my Databricks cluster ?
If I run
%sh ls /dbfs
I get no output.
I am looking for the databricks-datasets subdirectory ? I can't find it under /dbfs

Hi @Femi Anthony , Do you see any results on executing: display(dbutils.fs.ls("/"))?
What's the DBR version of the cluster?

Hi @Femi Anthony Please let us know if you are trying this in Community edition or in your workspace?
If it's CE then you won't be able to see anything under /dbfs while using %sh.
display(dbutils.fs.ls("/")) should show the dataset folder.

Yes, this is in Community ediition. Thanks.

Okay. Then this is the limitation with CE.
Use display(dbutils.fs.ls("/"))
