Subjectundeletable files in /lost+found
Hi I had a problem with my filesystem and ended up with the /lost+found
directory full of files which can not be deleted.

The files have attributes like the following

	total 2053687446
	b--xr-Sr-x   1 12554    27769     61,  60 Dec  8  2000 #1009
	c---rwx-w-   1 26992    14898     48,  48 Jan 14  1994 #1012
	br-sr-SrwT   1 30578    14649     53,  50 Jan 21  2026 #1018
	br-xrwSr--   1 2660     31024     60,  32 May 31  2000 #1021
	br--rwsr-x   1 28019    11864     48,  54 Sep 13  2028 #1022
	br-x-wS-w-   1 29811    12848     48,  48 Oct 23  1998 #1041
	cr-srwS-wT   1 26978    28275     99,  46 Dec 19  2001 #1052
	b--xr-s--x   1 12605    25920     46, 110 Mar  9  1996 #1055
	br-xr-s--t   1 29800    8292      49,  10 Mar 24  2029 #1056

and a du produces the following

	-936295712	./#281
	-1030091966	.

any idea how this sort of file may be deleted?

Joe.
