mklost+found(1M) mklost+found(1M)
NAME
mklost+found - make a lost+found directory for fsck
SYNOPSIS
mklost+found
DESCRIPTION
A directory lost+found is created in the current directory
and a number of empty files are created therein and then
removed so that there will be empty slots for fsck(1M).
This command should be run immediately after first mounting
and changing directory to a newly created file system. For
small file systems, it is sufficient (and much faster) to
simply make a lost+found directory. Up to 30 files can be
recovered in it.
EXAMPLE
mklost+found
in the current directory, creates a directory with empty
slots named lost+found.
FILES
/bin/mklost+found
SEE ALSO
fsck(1M), mkfs(1M)
BUGS
Should be done automatically by mkfs.
