Is your /tmp
mounted as a tmpfs
filesystem? Looks at the first column in the output of df -h /tmp
, if it says tmpfs
then the filesystem is in the system's memory which is volatile, and any contents will be lost after a reboot.
You won't be able to get these files back I'm afraid.
If /tmp
is disk-based but its contents are still being deleted on a reboot, then it may be because of a setting in the systemd-tmpfiles
service https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/kinetic/man8/systemd-tmpfiles.8.html
You may find this is set to clear everything out of /tmp
whenever they system boots, or delete certian types of files, or files over a certain age, etc. - there are too many options to go through here.
Of course, if /tmp
is a tmpfs
filesystem then this second part of the answer is irrelevant.
