  Are you sure I am wrong?  At least for Unix system V on the AT&T 3B2, 3B5,
3B15 computers, the ones I have most experience with, all that needs to be
there is the directory.  I have lost BIG files and have them reappear properly
after having "rm -r lost+found ; mkdir lost+found" it to get rid of trash.
I have lost /usr/terminfo once, and it reappeared in /usr/lost+found....
  Like I said: which machine/operating system are you on??  I do not believe
that the creation of millions of files is need on all op systems.
