ext3fs still uses sequential search of file names in directories?

[Parker Johnson <pjohnson@listen.com>]

 

I am trying to determine the optimal filesystem for accessing large numbers of files (25,000+) in a single directory.  I have read that ext3fs uses a sequential search algorithm and wanted to verify that this was still indeed the case since this article was published a year ago.

Thanks for the help.
