[ILUG] HD question

[Mark Kilmartin]

OK what I have tried now is

mkdir test
cd test
mkdir anothertest
cd ..
mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda7 test

At this point I can nolonger see anothertest.
Which is all right and sane.

I now use debugfs to unlink anothertest.

I then unmount test

Test is empty.

But if I try to mkdit anothertest I'm told the file already exists.

If I then fsck the disk anothertest is noe linked into lost+found

SO I then rm -rf the directory in lost+found.

But I still can't do mkdir anothertest under test as it still says the
file exists.

I can do a rm -rf anothertest fine and everything is OK then.


I susspose the real question I have here is rm the directory from
lost+found the right thing to do.

And after I have removed the directory from lost+found is the directory
actually taking up any space on the disk.

I'm actually learning quite a bit from this so I suspose it is worth the
time.  Hopefully somebody else is learning from it as well.
