There is normally a +.I lost+found +directory in the root directory of each file system. +.PP +.B mklost+found +pre-allocates disk blocks to the +.I lost+found +directory so that when +.BR e2fsck (8) +is being run to recover a file system, it does not need to allocate blocks in +the file system to store a large number of unlinked files. This ensures that +.B e2fsck +will not have to allocate data blocks in the file system during recovery. +.SH OPTIONS +There are none. +.SH AUTHOR +.B mklost+found +has been written by Remy Card <Remy.Card@linux.org>.
