This is an usual behavior on Unix/Linux systems. When you restart the system, the content of the /tmp directory is cleaned, because precisely, the purpose of this directory is to keep files temporally. For that reason, the data directory for the HDFS filesystem should be another directory, /var/hadoop/data for example, of course, a directory durable in time. So, you should change your dfs.name.dir and your dfs.data.dir variable in your hdfs-site.xml.

Hi,
I'm not sure if there is a setting to avoid the Namenode removed after hosting 
machine of Namenode restart.I found that after successfully installed single 
node pseudo distributed hadoop following from your website, the name node dir 
/tmp/hadoop-brendan/dfs/name are removed if machine reboot.
What do I miss?
