Sounds like the root directory got corrupted/overwritten by something and so the entire directory heirarchy got moved into lost+found. The inode numbers are used because the names are held in the directory blocks and they couldn't be found. > Is there any way to remap these back to directories? You'll need to examine the contents of every directory and file in lost+found to work out where they cames from. if you are lucky, it'll only be the root directory entries that are in lost_found and the rest of the directories heirarchy will still be intact.... > Any ideas how I may have gotten into this mess? No. It's too late to try an diagnose now, too.
