Also it's not called "lost+found" on all systems. On Macs it's called "Lost and Found", and my Android phone has a directory called "LOST.DIR" although I'm not sure in the latter case if that's just an ordinary trash folder or acts as a true lost+found in the fsck sense. I think it's safer not to skip anything except "." and "..".
