I wouldn't recommend doing this (especially because of the use of the "rm *"
by root). Copying all files from /usr/bin to any lost+found will take
a long time and can run the file system out of space. A faster mechanism
would be to put the following into a shell file:
mkdir lost+found
cd lost+found
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
do
for j in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
do
for k in 1 2 3 4 5
do
> $i$j$k
done
done
done
rm [0-9]*
NOTE-> I just typed that in off the top of my head, so there may be a typo.
This will always creat 500 slots in the directory and not use up any real
file system space while creating the slots. The use of "for i in 1 2..." is
just to preclude the use of something like
i=1;
while [ i -lt 500 ]
do
> $i
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
which is much, much slower.
