Checking #Inodes in Linux using command line #linux #Commands #learning
An #Inode number is a uniquely existing number for all the files in #Linux and all #Unix-type systems.
When a file is created on a #system, a file name and #Inode number are assigned.
Generally, a user uses the file name to access a file, but internally, the file name is first mapped with the respective Inode number stored in a table.
#Inode doesn't contain the #filename. The reason for this is to maintain #hardlinks for the #files. When all the other information is separated from the file name, we can only have various file names pointing to the same #Inode.
#inode is an #index node. It serves as a unique identifier for a specific piece of #metadata on a given #filesystem. Each piece of #metadata describes what we think of as a file. That's right, #inodes operate on each #filesystem, independent of the others.
