I am confused. If I mount /dev/sda5 on /mnt and have a look around it, it all looks ok and if I do a df it tells me there is still plenty of free space on the partition (as I expected): Filesystem: /dev/sda5 1k-blocks: 3958767 Used: 1653871 Available: 2100069 Use%: 44%

Anyone know how I can correct this "lost+found" error?

What does df -i /dev/sda5 say? it's possible it has run out of inodes if you have lots of small files.
