6 | .SH NAME |
7 | mklost+found \- create a lost+found directory on a mounted Linux | |
8 | second extended file system | |
9 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
10 | .B mklost+found | |
11 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
12 | .B mklost+found | |
caf8ce4c TT |
13 | is used to create a |
14 | .I lost+found | |
15 | directory in the current working directory on a Linux second extended | |
16 | file system. There is normally a | |
17 | .I lost+found | |
18 | directory in the root directory of each filesystem. | |
19 | .PP | |
3839e657 | 20 | .B mklost+found |
caf8ce4c TT |
21 | pre-allocates disk blocks to the |
22 | .I lost+found | |
23 | directory so that when | |
24 | .BR e2fsck (8) | |
25 | is being run to recover a filesystem, it does not need to allocate blocks in | |
26 | the filesystem to store a large number of unlinked files. This ensures that | |
3839e657 | 27 | .B e2fsck |
caf8ce4c | 28 | will not have to allocate data blocks in the filesystem during recovery. |
