Error with ./lost+found #111

Open w4jbm opened 2 years ago

w4jbm commented 2 years ago

I used rdfind by opening a terminal from the file manager in the "root directory" of a USB drive I had recently formatted and just copied some files to. Below is the result. I specified . as the starting directory.

mac@scby:/media/jbm/ZZee$ rdfind .
Now scanning "."Dirlist.cc::handlepossiblefile: This should never happen. FIXME! details on the next row:
possiblefile="./lost+found"
, found 1677471 files.
Now have 1677471 files in total.
Removed 0 files due to nonunique device and inode.
Total size is 2085802033048 bytes or 2 TiB
Removed 158923 files due to unique sizes from list.1518548 files left.
Now eliminating candidates based on first bytes:

Things continued past that. I am running Ubuntu 20.04.4 and it shows rdfind is version 1.4.1. The volume is formatted Ext4 and the lost+found director is owned by root while the rest of the directory tree belongs to the user I am running the command as.
