Seems a lot sounder than:
 
  However both these filesystmes (EXT4 more importantly) are "tolerant" in
  terms of the accuracy of the value presented back in seekdir(). i.e, a
  seekdir(val) actually seeks to the entry which has the "closest" true
  offset.



Let me know if you revisit this this one.
