mklost+found  - create a lost+found directory on a mounted
       Linux second extended file system


SYNOPSIS

       mklost+found


DESCRIPTION

       mklost+found is used to create a lost+found  directory  in
       the  current  working directory on a Linux second extended
       file system.  There is normally a lost+found directory  in
       the root directory of each filesystem.

       mklost+found  pre-allocates  disk blocks to the lost+found
       directory so that when e2fsck(8) is being run to recover a
       filesystem,  it  does  not  need to allocate blocks in the
       filesystem to store a  large  number  of  unlinked  files.
       This  ensures  that  e2fsck will not have to allocate data
       blocks in the filesystem during recovery.
