Re: moving filesystem

The lost+found directory is created for use by fsck. When fsck runs if it finds orphaned fragments and things like that it will put them into lost+found, creating a file for each cohesive chunk. So, you probably don't need to copy it from /home to /images. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi > > i am

moving filesystem

Hi i am moving /home to an existing file system, /images, either by : cp
)a /home /images or find /home
)xdev | cpio
)padm /images My concern is the lost+found directory... should i retain it on the /images filesystem or delete it or what? thanx Zane
