Is it possible to hide lost+found?
Solution 1:
Create a subdirectory in that filesystem and share/symlink that instead of the filesystem root directory.
It's a bad idea to remove the lost+found directory. When recovering, fsck needs an existing multi-sector directory in which to create directory entries for lost files. If there is no lost+found directory, then it has to create one, potentially overwriting data.
Solution 2:
For Gnome2/Mate Nautilus/Caja based desktops, create a file called .hidden
in the root folder of the drive.
Edit the contents to read:
lost+found
Nautilus will now hide the lost+found folder if you refresh. Press 'ctrl-h' to toggle the hidden items visible/invisible.
Solution 3:
$ ls --ignore=lost+found
So make that an alias
$ alias ls='ls --ignore=lost+found'
With the updated ls that is part of GNU coreutils 8.15

Solution 4:
Nautilus (and Konq?) will interpret a .hidden file in a directory as a list of files to hide. Otherwise, as others have suggested, use XFS or ReiserFS.
Solution 5:
No. But you can delete it (it'll be recreated at the next fsck), or you can use a different file system which doesn't need a lost+found. ext2/3 does.
