Could this be an ext3 filesystem built long ago without dir_index?
Okay, I just checked mine with dumpe2fs and it showed that whilst I didn't specify dir_index, it was a feature in use.
When did this start being a standard feature?I know that I do rsync backups on the hour as it works extremely well, I may increase the frequency given how well it performs for my system [which isn't high end by any stretch]. I am thinking about doing 4 rsync backups per hour with each one operating on a different backup area so that I can easily go back to any file changed or deleted less than 1 hour ago, I may even do 8 over 2 hours. Certainly rsynce works very well for my needs on my ext3 file system. I'm not currently concerned about using anything that is Maildir specific (and aware), but that might come later.
