NO SPACE IN lost+found DIRECTORY This tells me that it's not saving some of the files on the drive. Is that correct? Is there anything I can do to make more space in lost+found, either system-wide or while the fsck is running? Some possibly pertinent info: # ls -lad lost+found drwxrwxrwt 1379 root wheel 182272 Apr 12 16:55 lost+found # ls lost+found | wc -l 8899 This fs was copied from a drive reporting "hard errors reading fsbn..." using dd.
