fsck errors and a lot of files in /lost+found

[ESGLinux]

Hi,

Thanks, I can see some files testing first with file command.


I´m looking for usefull files there but some I don´t know the right place I
have to copy (for example there is a lot of files that are emails but I
don´t know the mailbox where I have to copy)

is there any way to know the original location of the files?

Thanks again ,

ESG
