Hi! I have a bunch of machines running Debian Sarge, all of them using ext3 and linux 2.6. Now, I've noticed that the Debian installer doesn't format ext3 with hashed directories (dir_index) enabled.
Why is this? Other distributions like Fedora enable this by default. Is this because the 2.4 kernel that Sarge also ships doesn't support this flag? (I think it does, but I don't know.) Or is there a downside to this feature? Any enlightenment on this matter would be appreciated, as I'm thinking about enabling this for some filesystems. -- Carlos Rodrigues
