5.2 Fsck
5.2.1 The lost+found directory
This directory is created when the file system is made by newfs. fsck copies problem ("lost") files here. fsck can't create it's own directories so newfs must do this first. When creating the directory newfs makes entries so that, should it need to, numerous files could be put there by fsck.
