mklost+found(1M)                                 mklost+found(1M)



NAME
     mklost+found - makes a directory named lost+found to be used
     by fsck

SYNOPSIS
     mklost+found

DESCRIPTION
     mklost+found creates a directory named lost+found in the
     current directory.  It also creates a number of empty files
     in that directory and then removes them so that there will
     be empty slots for fsck.  Run this command immediately after
     first mounting a new file system and changing to a directory
     in the new file system.  For small file systems, it is
     sufficient (and much faster) simply to make a lost+found
     directory.  You can recover up to 30 files in it.

LIMITATIONS
     The function of the mklost+found command should be performed
     automatically by mkfs.

FILES
     /bin/mklost+found
          Executable file
