Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-109 Severity: normal Hi,
Cron sends me warning mails like this:
------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/cron.daily/standard:
Some local filesystems do not have lost+found directories. This
means that these filesystems will not be able to recover
lost files when the filesystem is checked after a crash.
Consider creating a lost+found directory with mklost+found(8).
The following lost+found directories were not available:
/media/newroot/lost+found
------------------------------------------------------------
However, xfs_repair(8) indicates no such directories are necessary:
------------------------------------------------------------
lost+found
The directory lost+found does not have to already exist in the
filesystem being repaired. If the directory does not exist, it is
automatically cre‐ ated if required. If it already exists, it will
be checked for consistency and if valid will be used for
additional orphaned files. Invalid lost+found directories are
removed and recreated. Existing files in a valid lost+found are
not removed or renamed.
------------------------------------------------------------
So,
Observed behavior:
/etc/cron.daily/standard checks whether XFS filesystems have
lost+found and reports if it contains files or if it is entirely
missing.
Expected behavior:
/etc/cron.daily/standard still checks and reports files in lost+found
directories of XFS filesystems, however does not warn if the directory
is missing.
