/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.
That directory might have some space pre-allocated so that entries can
be created even when the filesystem is in a bad state, since that's what
it's for.
