lost+found directory

Hi there,
because of an error, the directory lost+found has been deleted on a filesystem that is currently empty. The file system is mounted as /Oracle on /dev/sdb1. It's about 8,5GB and it fulls the entire disk. What i did now is:
umount /Oracle
fsch /dev/sdb1
mount /Oracle
But the directory isn't created yet. My question is:
can i create the directory manually or this thing could cause future problems while i use the filesystem?
Thanks for your help.

Re: lost+found directory

Hi,
let me be specific.
go to your directory where you want your lost+found directory
#cd /test
#mklost+found
This will create lost+found dir under /test
full path: /usr/sbin/mklost+found
