Remove on-disk indexing idea for UFS: apparently 2008 didn't lead to useful
results, and David thinks it's not actually a useful idea at this point.

<p>The section <emph>8.3 Naming</emph> of the book
|
||||
<emph>Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System</emph>
|
||||
describes the current approach of name lookups in UFS2 and a possible
|
||||
extension/improvement by utilizing on-disk indexing in a backward
|
||||
compatible way. While dirhash has eliminated many of the performance
|
||||
problem associated with UFS directory lookups, it still has to build
|
||||
an index on each access.
|
||||
On-disk indexing would improve this situation.
|
||||
Another possible improvement would be to make dirhash's memory
|
||||
usage dynamic, rather than having a fixed memory limit.</p>
