As far as I know, neither the resize_inode nore the dir_index ext3 option can be securely added after the file system is created. The resize_inode option can be added using the ext2prepare tool in the ext2resize package, but I am not convinced this tool is safe to use, so I recommend recreating the file system and copying the content instead. > And where can I get the full list of ext3-options which are enabled > now by default?
