| Sep 17, 2013 at 9:59 | comment | added | Boris_yo | I don't get the last part: Basically the gist of it is, if you are following all of the precautions to keep the SD card from getting corrupted (ejecting before removal, ect...) then the SD card is partially incompatible with your device. | |
| Sep 12, 2013 at 23:36 | comment | added | user23730 | @John then how can an internal SD card be itself incompatible with the phone where it is embedded? Cause just like ohho I get an empty LOST.DIR on both internal and external SD cards all the time, and I use MTP not MSC when connecting to PC. | |

| May 7, 2013 at 2:44 | comment | added | ohho | "As for preventing it from being created, just prevent the SD card from becoming corrupted." does not work for my device. After I delete the LOST.DIR folder, restart the device, a new empty LOST.DIR folder is created. | |
| May 7, 2013 at 2:28 | comment | added | John | @ott I would imagine that it is, considering that LOST.DIR is created at startup after a disk check, which is exactly what happens on *nix with lost+found. | |

I wonder if that directory could be the equivalent of lost+found on unix systems.
