I made a second attempt at getting dir_index to work, with make clean in linux and e2fsprogs. 1) I ran 'tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/hda2". So good so far. 2) Upon rebooting in to single user mode, I ran 'man fsck' to figure out how to get those nifty progressbars ;) 3) While starting man(1), EXT3 began spewing messages in the form: "EXT3-fs error (device (ide0(3,2)): ext3_readdir: directory #4243459 contains a hole at offset xxxxxx" The directory number stayed constant, but the offset was variable. fsck -fD had -not- been run at this point. 4) On reboot, fsck reported: "Directory inode has unallocated block #xx" multiple times. fsck seemed to fully recover the filesystem. I rebooted again for good measure. 5) Not set back, I tried 'man fsck' again. It worked as expected this time. 6) Next, I executed 'e2fsck -CfD /dev/hda2". When it completed, I rebooted. 7) While KDE was trying to start, EXT3 dumped the following to the console: "EXT3-fs error (device ide(3,2)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted" 8) I rebooted, and fsck said: "Directory inode 131073,block3,offset 528: Directory corrupted" I wasn't so lucky this time, and a good portion of my home directory got eaten. 9) I tried to start KDE again, and the filesystem went read-only halfway through composing an email. I didn't catch the error on the console that time. 10) fsck reported more 'Directory corrupted' errors, and more of my home directory ended up in /lost+found 11) I ran 'tune2fs -O ^dir_index', rebooted, and fsck cleaned up all the index blocks
It seems to be running stable now. Linux 2.4.19, UP Athlon, GCC 3.2.
