According
to
<http://groups.google.co.uk/group/li...d987ea414438e70>,
it should be perfectly safe to add dir_index to an existing filesystem.
However, to get the benefit of the indexing for already-created
directories, e2fsck -D should be run after dir_index has been added;
therefore it's probably best to just document the procedure in the release
notes.
