fsck.extN will complain lost+found is missing and fail 273. So my first try is
creating lost+found explicitly after removing everything in $SCRATCH_MNT.
Please see http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-01/msg00092.html
The whole point here is to avoid such fsck errors.

And as Dave suggested, 273 274 275 should put all files in a dedicated location
and just remove that dir instead of removing all files in
$SCRATCH_MNT. So I sent
out this as a second try. Perhaps I should mark it as v2...

Thanks,
