Yeah, slowly-growing directories will get splattered all over the

Possible short-term fixes would be to just allocate up to (say) eight
blocks when we grow a directory by one block. Or teach the
directory-growth code to use ext3 reservations.
Longer-term people are talking about things like on-disk
rerservations. But I expect directories are being forgotten about in
all of that.
I wish people would just talk about de2fsrag... ;-\
