/tmp is a tmpfs(M), a memory based file system, in solaris. so it is "normal" to lose the data aber a reset/reboot.... you could remove the mount entry from your /etc/vfstab, but it is NOT RECOMMENDED, some applications write files to /tmp (e.g.: pidfiles, keyfiles). why don't you use another directory instead?
