Description Gordon Malm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-09 18:41:37 UTC 
bootmisc should leave /tmp/lost+found directory intact when WIPE_TMP="yes", instead of simply excluding the files contained within.  e2fsck complains and recreates it, where it is subsequently deleted again by bootmisc.  This is quite annoying.
