You may be able to determine from doing an ls in these directories, what they originally were and mv them back to the proper path. From the fsck output, it looks like the contents of lost+found came from the root of the file system, and one other directory. > -rw-r--r-- 1 lanzm lanzm 1 Jul 9 20:04 I004104.RCN > -rw-r--r-- 1 lanzm lanzm 507445248 Aug 7 14:35 I004105.RCN > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36748583424 Aug 4 11:38 I004106.RCN > -rw-r--r-- 1 lanzm lanzm 0 Jul 9 20:00 I049152.RCN > -rw-r--r-- 1 lanzm lanzm 137598377 Jul 9 20:01 I053248.RCN > -rw-r--r-- 1 lanzm lanzm 0 Jul 9 20:00 I057344.RCN > -rw-r--r-- 1 lanzm lanzm 0 Jul 9 20:00 I057345.RCN > > it seems the files are there, but well... It's tedious to go through 74 files to determine what they are, but if any of these files are vital, you can probably identify them and mv them back to the proper path after fixing the directories. Again they should all have come from the root and one other directory. The other directories should be intact under /lost+found/Dxxxxxx.RCN/ > I know that one can say that I should backup my stuff. > well this is my backup drive and I have those things redundant, but > hey.

I wish I knew what caused this, but I don't. :^( Can you send me the output of "jfs_fscklog -d -e /dev/sda1"? It probably won't be enough to figure out the cause of the problem, but it might help me to know where to look.
