Heh. You made me curious. After finding the text oltsf+uodn on the
disc, I searched, and apparently, this has not been true since about
Linux 2.1.something (the time when I was involved with Linux was at
about 2.0.33-36, so I obviously missed the change, being busy with
BSD and all that).

This appears to be true, oltsf+uodn → lost+found then.

You never stop learning apparently…
