Thanks for your help Nitin, here is what it displays: satish@ubuntu:~/work/hadoop-1.0.4/bin$ $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop dfs -ls /tmp/
Warning: $HADOOP_HOME is deprecated. Found 3 items drwxr-xr-x - satish supergroup 0 2013-03-05 04:12 /tmp/hive-satish -rw-r--r-- 1 satish supergroup 654 2013-03-04 02:41 /tmp/states.txt drwxr-xr-x - satish supergroup 0 2013-02-16 00:46 /tmp/temp-1850940621 ************** I have done a search for the file states.txt and it refers to 3 places 2 of em refer to proc/2693/cwd but none of them refer to tmp folder.
