Mine is for 2.4.13 (i.e., Caldera 3.1.1). The lost+found directory is only used by the fsck utility, not the kernel. But, it must exist and have lots of empty directory entries allocated. I will next check the reiserfs fsck utility. There is no mention of lost+found in that program's man pages. Next stop: source. I also see that the mklost+found program only references ext2. But ext3 has a lost+found as well. So I cannot trust that info as being complete. It is all up to the fs-specific fsck utility. (I had a crew claim that their file system was screwy. When they reported that there was no lost+found, I got concerned. Seems it was a full hard disk. The KDE editor happily 'saves' empty files without nary a complaint when the disk is full. And mcopy dumps core with no message the crew cared to recognize. How odd. I need to check 'disk full' functionality.) -- +============================+===============================+ | Roger Oberholtzer | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | OPQ Systems AB | WWW: http://www.opq.se/ | | Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 | Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 | | 115 32 Stockholm | Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 | | Sweden | Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 | +============================+===============================+ _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
