Please state the command and error message. BTW, your fstab is incorrect - only / should have a pass number of 1, the rest should either be 0 (don't check) or 2 (check)
There is no error message. "lost+found" is the journal folder.
So do this cd /data rm -rf "lost+found" mklost+found And voila, it's back.
