[Cialug] lost+found

[Dave Weis]

Don't ever mess with that directory. There are pre allocated inodes to make it safer to attach lost files.

It looks like a large array we have has a number of lost inodes (ext4), as
lost+found has gotten pretty big.

Normally oI would just delete it and relase those inodes back to the free
pool, but with "rm -rf", it complains directory not empty.

What would be the correct way to clear lost+found? The partition is way
too large to do an fsck, and it would be really nice to not have to
unmount, if possible.

	Thanks!
