Is it possible to hide lost+found?
Given a partition intended solely for storing music, video and so-on, is it possible to hide the lost+found directory?
Solution 1:
Create a subdirectory in that filesystem and share/symlink that instead of the filesystem root directory.
It's a bad idea to remove the lost+found directory. When recovering, fsck needs an existing multi-sector directory in which to create directory entries for lost files. If there is no lost+found directory, then it has to create one, potentially overwriting data.
Solution 2:
For Gnome2/Mate Nautilus/Caja based desktops, create a file called .hidden
in the root folder of the drive.
Edit the contents to read:
lost+found
Nautilus will now hide the lost+found folder if you refresh. Press 'ctrl-h' to toggle the hidden items visible/invisible.
