I got some pretty nasty results with that patch. After enabling the dir_index
superblock flag and running e2fsck -fD, the filesystem would spontaneously
remount itself read-only (I have errors=remount-ro set) after a few minutes
of use. Once I disabled dir_index, e2fsck picked up many duplicate blocks.
There doesn't appear to be any severe filesystem damage, however.
