Two reasons against renaming:

- we call it fsck-objects for a reason. We are working on a file system, which just so happens to be implemented in user space, not kernel space.
  If lost+found has to find a new name, so does fsck-objects.


I'm sorry, but that is bull. The problem here isn't the conventional naming, it's that you're implementing your filesystem on top of another filesystem, and you're running into a layering conflict.

- lost+found has a special meaning, granted. So, a backup would not be made of it. So what? I *don't* want it backup'ed. I want to repair what
  was wrong with it. When I repaired it, the result is stored somewhere
  else. To backup lost+found would make as much sense as to backup /tmp.


The default should ALWAYS be no data loss.
