Found this on the net. Maybe it will be useful for you:

The article mentions the file(1) utility but doesn't give an example, I think it's the first thing to run on /lost+found.

# file /lost+found/*

Thanks to @UNIXgod and @kpa for your times indeed. The only thing I know from 'the white book' is inode number which is quite rare and so sparse informations to do any thing with them.

This should be [Solved] but any more hints are still welcome.
Many thanks indeed for your times.
