The larger problem is that we shouldn't be using a "filename".
Hans Reiser (of Namesys) would agree with you.
What are the proposed alternatives ?
Queries primarily.
Wouldn't that make a filename just an alias for 'select inode from
filesystem where type = "text document" and size > 2MB and mtime < 5min' ?
I have no objection to keeping a filename.
However, I note that I type the following idiom:
find . -type f -exec grep <someregex> {} /dev/null \;
I want the ability to search files. *FAST*.
And yet you use -exec rather than xargs ?
