This appears to me like the simple case of your OS clearing out your /tmp at every boot. You will lose all data + fsimage if you haven't configured your dfs.data.dir and dfs.name.dir to not be located on /tmp.

Is my understanding correct? Are your dfs.data.dir and/or dfs.name.dir properties pointing to locations on /tmp, by the way? This appears to me like the simple case of your OS clearing out your /tmp on boot. You will lose all data + fsimage this way if you haven't configured your dfs.data.dir and dfs.name.dir to not be located on /tmp. -- Harsh J www.harshj.com
