After fsck has run, I've : seen another fsck run complain that /lost+found/#whatever is an : extraneous hard link to a directory. No. Didn't see those messages. : In the meantime, I'd recommend running fsck until it stops reconnecting : stuff under lost+found. Then run it again without the -p option (so that : it ignores the clean flag), which will allow it to fix the reference : counts. That's what I wound up doing, with some scrubbing of lost+found inbetween runs, to get back to a fsck that was clean. I think what was happening was that the link count was adjusted for files that were dangling because fsck couldn't attach them to lost+found because the directory was full.
