Why is it useful to store fixed-length directory entries? What limitation does this impose on file names?

What will be an ideal response?


If directory entries are of uniform length, the file system can search directory entries
by index much like an array, which improves file access times. This typically means that the
file system imposes a maximum length (typically 255 characters) on a file name.
