Hi,

I tried to mount my dos slice which caused a system crash(slice was
shrunk with fips) and when the system came back up the UFS had some 
problems.  fsck(with some help/harm from me) created some of the
lost storage in the lost+found directory.  

The problem is that even root can not delete these lost files.  The 
permissions, owner, and group are really strange.

Is there anyway to get rid of these files?
