Hi Jen
lost+found is where all the little bits of files end up that fsck can't associate with a particular file. With a little free time, you could take each "bit" and glue them all back together... Kind of like a jigsaw puzzle without the box to guide you.
Regards, Paul.

Anyway. That was the good news. The bad news is - ls for /mnt/hda1 shows nothing but lost and found, whereas df -h shows /dev/hda1 to be 71% full (what it was before it crashed). Lost and found is full of things listed like this: root@0[lost+found]# ls -l #1098288 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2910 Nov 12 2003 #1098288 I suspect they will add up to the 71%. I don't suppose I will rescue my data now, but I am curious as to what these are and what actually happened.
