Imagine if somebody gives you a 1Gb directory. Would it or would it not piss you off if your file pointer got reset to 0 every time somebody created a file?
The current semantics are scalable. Anything which resets the file pointer upon change of a file/directory/whatever isn't...
Anyone using a 1GB directory deserves for it not to scale. I think this is a very poor example.
No that I disagree with you, the largest directories I have on my system here are 2.6MB (freedb, lots of hashed flat-files in one directory), here I do agree that you should not have to reset the counter everytime.
