No. When fsck (chkdsk on OS/2) finds valid files or directories that don't appear to be in any directory, it places them in /lost+found. Often you can look at the contents of the file or directory and figure out where it came from. Things usually end up here if a directory gets damages beyond repair. The contents of the directory will no longer have a "home" and fsck will put them in /lost+found. I'm not sure about OS/2 setting the system and hidden attributes in OS/2, but otherwise, it's the same behavior. -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
