Re: If not readdir() then what?

In article <1176250921.309.94.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> you wrote:
Otherwise, the client would have to cache _all_ previous READDIR results
since the last opendir()/rewinddir() in order to be able to do its own
loop detection and that will obviously never scale for large directories
or for directories that change frequently...

Unless you have a COW style filesystem with versioning (think oracle tables)
you will have to invalidate cookies often or do copies - on client or
server. And I am not sure whats worse (for apps)... disappearing/missing
files or duplicates.
