Err, no. E2fsck will re-optimize an individual directory if it is
corrupted. If you specify the -D option, it will optimize *all*
directories.
For example:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> {/usr/projects/e2fsprogs}, level 2
502# e2fsck -f /dev/sdb1
e2fsck 1.40.1 (08-Jul-2007)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
boot: 62/122624 files (21.0% non-contiguous), 82110/244983 blocks
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> {/usr/projects/e2fsprogs}, level 2
503# e2fsck -fD /dev/sdb1
e2fsck 1.40.1 (08-Jul-2007)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 3A: Optimising directories
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
boot: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
boot: 62/122624 files (21.0% non-contiguous), 82110/244983 blocks
If you have a filesystem where you are seeing something else, you're
going to have to send me an compressed raw e2image file (see the
"REPORTING BUGS" section of e2fsck).
