OK to delete/rename lost+found on disk?

[rikona]

Is it OK to delete/rename/change permissions for lost+found on disk
[assuming I can - owned by root]? Opinions on the net range from 'OK'
to 'h*ll no'.

It looks as though 'permission denied' for this is what is causing my
backups not to work correctly [was described in an earlier email]. If
I can safely get rid of lost+found then perhaps grsync backups might
start working properly...
