Losing lost+found on an ext3 filesystem is pretty harmless. It is the directory where fsck will attach files that still exist but were detached from the directory tree (i.e, 'lost'). Since this should *never* happen with ext3, there doesn't seem to be any point in lost+found. The one exception would be if you sometimes mount the filesystem as ext2. I always "tune2fs -c0 ..." my ext3 filesystems. -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
