Somebody in the thread at some point said: > Thanks, Andy. The directory 'lost+found' in /dev/sdc2 is empty. Should I worry? No... basically fsck (or maybe ext3 itself, I don't know) will stick orphaned blocks of data in lost+found when it has "fixed" the data structures in the filesystem so that data is no longer reachable. It's a sort of last ditch place you can grep for bits of text in lost files and so on. If there's nothing in there, it just suggests no blocks of data were orphaned by the fixes. -Andy
