In Linux, the lost+found folder is where corrupted files are put after a filesystem check. Has your switch crashed?

HTH,

John

HTH, John *** Please rate all useful posts ***

download a few, they are mainly html files, so you should be able see what they are and maybe track back waht they were used for,

then decide to delete them or not

You bet. I did this and found them to be related to Cisco switch stacking "clustering". Don't know why they are there or for that matter, the security impact of the TCL tool control language being used for the Call Home feature. That tool is also installed on machines when you download a new IOS now. It seems like another set of services to be aware of. Thanks for the suggestion. Have a fine weekend..
