Losing lost+found on an ext3 filesystem is pretty harmless. It is the |
| 8 |
directory where fsck will attach files that still exist but were |
| 9 |
detached from the directory tree (i.e, 'lost'). Since this should |
| 10 |
*never* happen with ext3, there doesn't seem to be any point in |
| 11 |
lost+found. |

The one exception would be if you sometimes mount the filesystem as ext2. |

I always "tune2fs -c0 ..." my ext3 filesystems. |
