NAME
       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 filesys-
       tem.

       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.

OPTIONS
       There are none.
