Hi,
since the free space on my system is getting less and less, I was about to clean it up when realizing that my "lost+found" directory on this ext4 formatted partition is about 37G big.
The system hasn't crashed so far, wasn't shutdown improperly (as it is attached to a UPS), so its seems quite strange to me. I immediately unmounted the partition and ran an fsck (both with and without the force parameter), but it hasn't reported anything wrong, nor cleaned up the directory.
I'm now a little bit concerned as to why this happened and what to do about the directory. Can it be safely removed? Where do this 37G come
from?
Best regards, Karol Babioch
Are there any files in this directory? If you had no system problems, it shall be empty. --Kwpolska
