Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How can I get only FileName associated with a INODE on Unix much faster? Post 302478409 by frank_rizzo on Tuesday 7th of December 2010 11:42:29 PM

you must have missed my "assuming the file is on /" comment.

try
Code:
time find /export -inum 2590784  -xdev -print 2>/dev/null

you can also add -fstype ufs (or whatever your using) to avoid traversing the proc file system. your searching my inode so if you use / it will search all file systems. I suggest you limit your search to the file system that has your file.

NAME
ffind - Finds the name of the file or directory using a given inode SYNOPSIS
ffind [-aduvV] [-f fstype] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] image inode DESCRIPTION
ffind finds the names of files or directories that are allocated to inode on disk image image. By default it only will only return the first name it finds. With some file systems, this will find deleted file names. ARGUMENTS
image [images] One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with '-i'. inode Integer of inode to find. The optional arguments are: -a Find all occurrences of inode. -d Find deleted entries only. -f fstype Identify the file system type of the image. Use '-f list' to list the supported file system types. If not given, autodetection methods are used. -u Find undeleted entries only. -i imgtype Identify the type of image file, such as raw or split. Use '-i list' to list the supported types. If not given, autodetection methods are used. -o imgoffset The sector offset where the file system starts in the image. -b dev_sector_size The size, in bytes, of the underlying device sectors. If not given, the value in the image format is used (if it exists) or 512-bytes is assumed. -v Verbose output to stderr. -V Display version. This program searches all directory entries looking for the given inode. This is useful when an inode has been identified from a disk unit address using ifind(1). EXAMPLE
