Hi all. I am a new user of Fedora 17. I am studying for the Linux
certification.
I installed Fedora 17 using Vmware Workstation 8. After I completed
the installation I checked the directories to insure that everything was
installed correctly. When looking at the / directory using the ls command
I discovered that /lost+found file was there. I thought that this file
is supposed
to show up when you choose a directory as a mount point. Could anyone
help me understand why this happened and if the lost+found file is not
supposed
to be there how can I correct the problem?
Thank you.

This is just a default directory created by must unix/linux filesystems
and is usually used to store files that have been recovered due to some
file system repair.
However, you usually won't find this on non unix file systems such as FAT.
