A couple of days ago I had minor glitch as my FreeBSD box on my local intranet had an unexpected shutdown. When I fsck'd on reboot I was left with a few lost+found directories with #999999 files. Most appeared inconsequential and could be deleted. But there is one /tmp/lost+found that puzzles me. There are 3 subdirectories that act a little strangely. [~]# cd /tmp/lost+found/#123456 [/tmp/lost+found/#123456]# ls [/tmp/lost+found/#123456]# cd .. [/tmp/lost+found/#123456]# cd #123456 this returns and empty directory) [~]# ls (this returns the listing of the contents of /root Whoops! What is going on? I'd like to delete this /tmp/lost+found/ directory but, being very wary, I don't want to take the risk (probably none) to delete it since there is no indication that this is a symbolic link and might delte the actual /root/ directory withoug getting some information about this occurrence.
