Grab e2fsprogs 1.29 (just released) and you can optimize all of your directories by using the -D flag to e2fsck. (Make sure you enable directory indexing first by using the command "tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/hdXX" first. Then do "e2fsck -D /dev/hdXX", and all of your directories will be optimized.) - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
