indirect JFS mount

We use Netbackup to backup our AIX server and we are encountering problems
which Veritas says can be fixed by us changing our JFS mount option to
"multiple indirect addressing". Using a command like this "chfs -a
options=rw,mind /fsname".

I am concerned about any negative aspects of changing the default mount
options on a production server. I have a very low confidence level with
Veritas's knowledge of AIX filesystems. Has anyone else made changes to
their systems and can they comment on the pro's and cons' of indirect mount
options?
