.SH NAME
mklost+found \- create a lost+found directory on a mounted Linux
second extended file system
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mklost+found
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mklost+found
is used to create a
.I lost+found
directory in the current working directory on a Linux second extended
file system. There is normally a
.I lost+found
directory in the root directory of each filesystem.

.B mklost+found
pre-allocates disk blocks to the
.I lost+found
directory so that when
.BR e2fsck (8)
is being run to recover a filesystem, it does not need to allocate blocks in
the filesystem to store a large number of unlinked files. This ensures that
1997-04-26 17:21:57 +04:00
.B e2fsck
will not have to allocate data blocks in the filesystem during recovery.
