Is there a better way to do this that won't necessitate scanning the entire file just to remove the first x number of lines?
I imagine such an answer would be file system dependent. Theoretically, a file system could accomplish this, but I don't think ext3 can. Such a file system would need the ability to point *into* blocks rather than just pointing at the start of each block.
