Recently several partitions on my system became damage after losing power to my system. After running fsck several files list below where created in the lost+found directory and serveral directories thru out my systems (NOTICE THE MODE INFO). I can not seem to delete these files. I always get the message Operation not permitted. I am trying to delete them while logged in as root, so there shouldn't be a permissing Can any tell me what these files are, why they were created and how to get rid of them.
Upgrade to e2fsprogs 1.12; e2fsck 1.12 will be detect these nonsense inodes and delete them for you. (Note that the presence of these garbage inodes means that garbage somehow gotten written to your inode table as part of your power hit, so there was probably quite a bit of damage to your filesystem).
You can always find the latest verison of e2fsprogs on the e2fsprogs web page, which is:
