fsck(8)

mkfs(8)

mklost+found(8)

Name

mklost+found − make a lost+found directory for fsck

Syntax

/etc/mklost+found

Description

A lost+found directory 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(.). This command should not normally be needed since mkfs() automatically creates the lost+found directory when a new file system is created.
