``doni, first i would attach a string to each ball and then at the end of the string i would attach the balls number on a little flag...LOL``

Rather than a little flag why not an Inode table....you need to organize them...

a board with ten nails in it numbered 1 through 10 a string corresponding in number to each ball....throw the balls in the basket...and starting with string #1 pull out ball #1 without touching it... so no down the list....no matter how mixed up the balls are you will retrieve them in order using the table.

The string represents a pointer.....notice that you have to have ten strings to retrieve ten balls.....this is considered overhead to a system....this is a representation of a Unix type system such as Linux.
