SUMMARY: what if you remove lost+found in a VXFS filesystem

Thanks for the reply that follow.

What we did:
mkdir .../lost+found
chmod 755 lost+found
chown root:others lost+found
We also umounted the fs and
fsck -T vxfs .....

After every fsadm operation would work just find.

My concern was that , according to the VxFs manual, in a VXFS the
lost+found is created on the 3rd node.
I was afraid that simply recreating it would not be the correct action.
Thanks again.
Benedetto

========================================================
Original question:

The lost+found directory on a VxFs was removed and the .fsadm with it...

A shrink failed... How to fix it?

mkdir lost+found, chmod it to 755, cd to it, and touch .fsadm, chmod it
to 0600.

Backup the filesystem recreate it with newfs and restore the filesystem.
