Fwd: Re: (reiserfs) Re: Fwd: Reiserfs and shlibs
It seems that XFS behaves the same way as ReiserFS, but VxFS behaves like
Ext2.
Looks like dpkg would have failed to work as desired if it had been ported to
IRIX...

on vxfs:
touch a
touch c
touch b
readdir returns ("a", "c", "b")
rm c
touch 1
touch 2
readdir returns ("a", "1", "b", "2")
on xfs:
touch a
touch c
touch b
readdir returns ("a", "b", "c")
rm c
touch 1
touch 2
readdir returns ("1", "2", "a", "b")
Iow vxfs behaves like ext and xfs sorts the data.
