(I assume we are talking about 4.X BSD Unix)

Well, you should also "grow" the directory size so fsck has
plenty of empty slots to put orphaned files and directories
in after mkdir lost+found in the root of the filesystem.  An
easy way to do this is to create many empty files in the
directory and then delete them all.
