ok, this is the point i liked to get confirmed fsck.ext4 -Df promises to benefit also for existing directories if i am not completly wrong here (see pararaph from man fsck.ext4) i tried it already in a virtual machine which would be easy to rcvober and all seems to be fine, but hopefully some of the FS specialists / developers are reading here and can comment ________________________________________________________ -D Optimize directories in filesystem. This option causes e2fsck to try to optimize all directories, either by reindexing them if the filesystem supports directory indexing, or by sorting and compressing directories for smaller directories, or for filesystems using traditional linear directories.
