Lost+found
Hi all,
after a crash of our SUN Server 220R on file system was corrupt
and I had run fsck getting a lost of files/dir's in the lost+found
of the file system loking like
drwxrwxr-x 2 lmxadmin DOS---- 512 Oct 31 21:04 #0007680
drwxrwxr-x 2 lammer DOS---- 512 Jan 29 09:29 #0035347
drwxrwxr-x 2 wohlfart DOS---- 512 Nov 2 15:59 #0045338
drwxrwxr-x 2 kaptur DOS---- 512 Jan 24 12:48 #0046080
drwxrwxr-x 2 hariskos DOS---- 512 Nov 15 09:23 #0046853
drwxrwxr-x 2 mantel DOS---- 1024 Jan 23 17:21 #0072324
drwxrwxr-x 2 kaptur DOS---- 29184 Jan 29 10:21 #0103786
drwxrwxr-x 2 mantel DOS---- 1024 Jan 23 16:55 #0103791
drwxrwxr-x 2 kaptur DOS---- 1024 Jan 24 14:09 #0167459
Is it possible to get the contents of the files. I tried to
read it in some way but as as they are directories, I wasn't
successful.
Any hints on getting the files back will be of great help.

mmd(1) General Commands Manual mmd(1)
NAME
mmd - mtools utility to make a DOS directory
SYNOPSIS
mmd [-v] msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...]
OPTIONS
Displays the new directory name if the name supplied is invalid.
DESCRIPTION
The mmd command makes a new directory on a DOS file system. Unlike DOS conventions, this command accepts multiple arguments. Reasonable
care is taken to create a valid DOS directory name. If an invalid name is specified, the mmd command changes the directory name and dis-
plays the new name if the -v option is specified. If the directory specified exists, an error occurs.
DOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/' or '' separator. The use of the '' separator or wildcards will require the
directory name to be enclosed in quotes to protect it from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mmd: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the current
mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:. Executable file
