That is only for the OSTs. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to recover them except by e.g. UID/GID and looking at the contents, which is true of local filesystems as well. I'd recommend making a lost+found directory in each user's home dir and then moving all of their files into their directory (with MDS mounted with -t ldiskfs) and let them sort it out. In Lustre 2.0 and later the MDS inodes will contain an attribute that holds the filename and parent directory ID that will allow recovery in a manner similar to how ll_recover_lost_found_objs does for the OST.
