Have you added these properties in your hdfs-site.xml file : <property> <name>dfs.name.dir</name> <value>/hadoop/hdfs/name</value> </property> <property> <name>dfs.data.dir</name> <value>/hadoop/hdfs/data</value> </property> <property>
If not please do that. The values of these properties default to the /tmp directory which gets emptied at each reboot and you end up loosing your data and metadata.
