Use lsattr <dir> with a newer e2fsprogs, and it will have a flag set, I believe it is "h" (hash) or "i" (index). Any new directory which grows from 1 block to 2 will be automatically indexed. Existing directories > 1 block will not yet be indexed (I don't recall if support for indexing existing directories is in e2fsck). I would suggest not using this on a production system and/or having backups of your data. This feature is still in the not-so-widely-used stage.
