Is there anything in your /boot/lost+found?

/boot/lost+found/:
total 20
drwx------. 2 root root 12288 Mar 17  2013 .
dr-xr-xr-x. 6 root root  5120 Feb 22 20:21 ..
-bash.12[boot]:

But what is odd is the ls -l output for /boot/lost+found/ itself. Why is an empty directory taking up 12288 bytes?  Other directories that are not empty are only taking up 1024 bytes.

Directories expand in size when a lot of directory entries exist.
They do not shrink when those entries are removed.

You can manually shrink it by rmdir the L&F directory then recreate it.
But do you really care about 11K bytes?


Something I did not know.  Thank-you.

You're right, it's only 11K.  Relative to the original problem, not significant.

That directory is also special. There might be consequences for recreating it. I don't know if it's accessed by name or inode.
