Hi, Nicholas.

Well, I did read some documentation, and I have at least a rudimentary
understanding of fsck and lost+found.  

Unfortunately, I regret to say that I did not find that the answer to
the question(s) about lost+found in the original post were contained in
the explanation(s) of its function - at least in what I have read so
far. 

Or, maybe I'm just stupid. 

I'm sorry if I have bothered you.
