Ok, now you've peaked my interest. Two questions:
1) Are there any other cool filestystem-walking tools out there? I'm willing to
believe someone has done a faster version of find that I just haven't heard of.
I know about stuff like ack, but is there an ffind in existence?
2) Could one do anything smart when looking for the inode based on its number
and how inode numbers are allocated? I don't know how random the allocation is
and whether numeric proximity relates at all to hierarchical proximity.
