The loas+found directory is part of the Linux extN filesystem semantics, and yes, it would be a terribly idea to try to remove it - it is automatically there at the top level of a disk mount point.
Because it being there will mess up kafka. it is a good idea to create a subdirectory there that the kafka process can write to and use that as the data dir. For example, disk is mounted on /mnt (so there is a /mnt/lost+found), create /mnt/kafka and put the data in there (there will not be a lost+found under /mnt/kafka). -- Dave DeMaagd ddema...@linkedin.com | 818 262 7958 (jun...@gmail.com - Mon, May 13, 2013 at 09:29:38AM -0700) > So a lost and found dir is created on every dir?
