7 mklost+found \- create a lost+found directory on a mounted Linux
8 second extended file system
15 directory in the current working directory on a Linux second extended
16 file system. There is normally a
18 directory in the root directory of each file system.
21 pre-allocates disk blocks to the
23 directory so that when
25 is being run to recover a file system, it does not need to allocate blocks in
26 the file system to store a large number of unlinked files. This ensures that
28 will not have to allocate data blocks in the file system during recovery.
