[Ocfs2-users] enabling discontig-bg

We upgraded from 1.4 to 1.6 to avoid some FS fragmentation issues (the 
"No space left on device" error, but the FS is not full yet). But it 
looks like we really need to enable discontig-bg to take advantage of 
that. Our file systems have these attributes:

Compat: backup-super
Incompat: None
RO Compat: None

Do we really need to enable discontig-bg in order to avoid the 
fragmentation problem?

If so, do I need to unmount the FS on all nodes in order to enable the 
feature? (offline operation)
