Change the storage directory.

["real great.." <gr...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
As i guess, Hadoop creates the default dfs in temp directory.
I tried changing it by editing the hdfs-site.xml to:
?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>

<!-- Put site-specific property overrides in this file. -->

<configuration>
  <property>
    <name>dfs.replication</name>
    <value>2</value>
  </property>


<property>
  <name>dfs.data.dir</name>
  <value>/home/supreme/hdfs</value>
  <description>Comma separated list of paths on the local filesystem of a
DataNode where it should store its blocks. </description>
</property>
</configuration>

However, this does not seem to work as the hdfs is getting created at temp.
directory even after i format the same.

There's also dfs.name.dir for the NameNode's image (which would go to
default ${hadoop.tmp.dir} if unset).

Did you try running the stop and start scripts ?
