................

The files and directories usually found in the root inode which were produced by inconsistencies from an abrupt halt will be recovered by fsck in phase 3 and put into the lost+found directory.

The phases (passes) performed by the UFS version of the fsck command are:

* Initialization
* Phase 1 - Check blocks and sizes
* Phase 2 - Check path names
* Phase 3 - Check connectivity
* Phase 4 - Check reference counts
* Phase 5 - Check cylinder groups


you have to learn something about UFS before understanding this..... hope that this small information helps you....

greetings Preßy
