If /tmp is actually a separate partition, then you should have a lost+found directory. The key is that it needs to be grown to the needed size before hand, because fsck cannot grow it during a reboot. Here is a quick script; # mkdir lost+found # chown root:root lost+found # chmod 700 lost+found # cd lost+found # pwd /scratch/lost+found <-- make sure you are in the right place # nofiles=0 # while [ "$nofiles" -le 650 ] > do > /usr/ucb/touch $nofiles > nofiles=`expr $nofiles + 1` > done # ls [snip] <--- see that you have 650 files # rm ./* <--- delete those files # cd .. # ls -ld lost+found drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Feb 11 15:44 lost+found > Thanks a lot! > > Hongwei I hope that helps.
