I had a thought, but I think it's not quite ripe.. NFS server sends the whole directory contents on NFS client opendir, so that the whole readdir/telldir/seekdir magic can happen on the client only... which would perhaps also enable a cheap telldir/seekdir, and would also give a 'fixed view' when adding/deleting files during readdir.
That doesn't sound right... what if there are two million files in the directory?
