A directory was lost at some point. With no directory, file names are created by their inode number. There is one or two per > day, timestamp always between midnight and 0200.

The timestamps aren't touched when fsck moves them to lost+found, so these files would have been created at those times in some directory that is now lost. It may have been since re-created by whatever process populates it. Can you tell what kind of files these are by their contents? You may find more recent files with similar sizes and timestamps to help identify what these are. > On a second filesystem, I have about 700Mb in lost+found, going back 2 > years, all around 04:00 (when we do a backup). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
