Hi Steve,

you mean xfs_repair creates lost+found everytime it runs?  I'm not sure if
the crash happens in the middling of creating lost+found, as our checker
only sees block writes with little file system knowledge.  We caught this
warning automatically (w/o chaing the xfs_repair code).

so is it true that in the rare case that xfs_repair fails in the middle of
creating lost+found, '/.' can be wiped off?  do you guys consider this as
a bug?

thanks,
