- [Some people seem to feel that rules are made to be broken: I had to create
- the shar file for this, and since I've been working late recently it's about
- two weeks late in posting. Moral: Follow the guidelines! ++bsa]
-
- Some of the varieties of UNIX don't create a lost+found directory
- in mkfs. Some don't even have a utility to make it for you. This script
- was presented at the December meeting of *IX and seems generally useful.
- It creates a lost+found on each mounted filesys which needs it, leaves
- existing directories alone, and doesn't get upset if a volume is mounted
- read only.
-
- Please send any comments to the original author, his address is in the
- comments of the script.
