That's not entirely accurate. lost+found is usually found when you create
and mount a filesystem at a particular mount point. It's where "found"
data is placed during an fsck.
The question, for Rahul, is this: Did you create a separate filesystem
for /tmp, and is it mounted? From your description, I'd say that you need
to:
A) Mount /tmp
B) Add /tmp to your /etc/fstab file, so that it's mounted on your next
reboot.
