housekeeping. occasional filesystem / harddisk scans go nosing about to confirm the drive's health & such, and when an orphaned cluster or two are found here and there--i.e. it looks like it should be a file but nothing points to it--it gets re-assigned to that partition's 'lost+found' directory. as to which utilities, i don't know specifically; as to how a block or file can get orphaned, just think about all those windows crashes and pretend that debian can fail like that. at least, that's my understanding of 'lost+found'. i could be wrong. :) -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Their is five errers in this sentance.
