NAME¶
mklost+found - create a lost+found directory on a mounted Linux second extended
file system
SYNOPSIS¶
mklost+found
DESCRIPTION¶
mklost+found is used to create a
lost+found directory in the
current working directory on a Linux second extended file system. There is
normally a
lost+found directory in the root directory of each
filesystem.
mklost+found pre-allocates disk blocks to the
lost+found directory
so that when
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
e2fsck will not have to allocate data
blocks in the filesystem during recovery.
OPTIONS¶
There are none.
