I may be missing something, but it seems to me that if the command under
discussion:
#find /lost+found -mtime +7 -type d -exec rm -rf {} \; >/dev/null 2>&1
had any real utility, it would be to clean *files* out of the /lost+found
directory. As the command is written, it will actually delete the /lost+found
directory itself along with its contents if the contents of the directory have
not been modified within the past week. If there is no /lost+found directory
when you run fsck as part of the reboot sequence, there is no place to put
files which have become unlinked.
Just an observation.
