Quote:
This is a shell script utility that recreates a lost+found directory file
with 8192 bytes of allocated space to a file system in the event that this
directory inadvertently gets removed on a running system.

This is a modification of a shell script from SRDB 3169, written for SunOS[TM]
4.x.
This script is intended for use with Solaris 2.x

1) su root
2) Run the following script in the root directory of the file system in which
a lost+found directory needs to be created:

#!/bin/sh
# mklost+found - shell script for recreating lost+found directory file.

echo "Making lost+found directory..."
/bin/mkdir ./lost+found
/usr/bin/chown root ./lost+found
/bin/chgrp root ./lost+found
/bin/chmod 700 ./lost+found

echo "Moving into lost+found directory..."
cd ./lost+found

echo "Creating temporary files in lost+found directory..."

nofiles=0
while [ "$nofiles" -le 650 ]
do
/usr/ucb/touch $nofiles
nofiles=`expr $nofiles + 1`
done

echo "Deleting temporary files in lost+found directory..."
/bin/rm ./*
