pre-allocates disk blocks to the
.I lost+found
directory so that when
.BR e2fsck (8)
2024-03-26 10:09:11 +08:00
is being run to recover a file system, it does not need to allocate blocks in
the file system to store a large number of unlinked files. This ensures that

.B e2fsck
2024-03-26 10:09:11 +08:00
