They do not handle >2GB files. And 'rm', for some strange reason, first 'lstat' file before removing it. As workaround, do: cd lost+found for a in *; do echo > $a; done rm * BTW, who created that files? Maybe there is some way to get through 2GB limit check without saying O_LARGEFILE? But more probably stupid software using O_LARGEFILE without knowing consequences...
