Interestingly enough, in lost+found there is no trace of arch - or of
any of the 18xx files it contained. There is, however, a subdir of
arch - I have to wonder, it seems very curious that only that single
file out of 1800 managed to survive. I do get asked by fsck to clear
a few inodes with too many errors at the beginning - would answering
'no' there help, perhaps?
