It's just a receiving area for fragments (inodes without corresponding filenames) that might in the future be recovered by fsck. Saying it indicates a weakness is about as sensible as saying that the presence of hospitals indicates epidemics. (FWIW, I've never found anything there since the arrival of ext3 journaling.) https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/18154/what-is-the-purpose-of-the-lostfound-folder-in-linux-and-unix _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
