searching on groups of files in reiser4

[Nicolas Smallwood <smallwood@maya.com>]

Hello,

My question concerns searching through a group of files on reiser4.
Assume that we are dealing with a directory full of files (say a few 
million or so).

If I am currently viewing a given file, and wish to iterate to the next 
file in the directory,
is there a method to do so without opening the base directory and moving 
from one
directory entry to the next until you find it?

In short, are there any constructs to perform a binary search on these 
directories instead of a slow
O(n) search using seekdir or whatever method?

Or is some type of plugin our best route?


Thank You,
