[qmailtoaster] lost+found

2013-12-19 Thread Eric Broch
Hello list,

I was working on a client's email server traversing the /home/vpopmail
directory, closed the file browser and opened it up again and my whole
'vpopmail' directory was in the folder /home/lost+found.

Has anyone EVER seen or heard of such a thing? In my 13+ years working
on Linux I've never encountered anything like this before. So, currently
I'm running the command to copy recursively the 'vpopmail' directory
from /home/lost+found to /home

Any comments or revelations would be most appreciated as I have NO idea
how this happened.

Eric

Maybe you hit CTRL+E? Or a combination that deleted instead of Closing Window 
CTRL+W?

Cheers,
Sebastian

 IMHO hard reset and damaged the /home filesystem. ;)


Forgive my ignorance, but what does this mean, Aleksnder.

By the way after having copied everything out of lost+found back to home
everything SEEMS ok. Should I be worried?

If You earlier checked the filesystem and repair it, don't worry. Lost
+found directory is for orphaned i-nodes, fsck moves them here.

I haven't done a filesystem check, lately. The only thing I can think of
is that I inadvertently moved 'vpopmail' to 'lost+found' in the GUI
interface.
