Question doubts reg inodes

Dear all,
We have a logfile which is written into by a background process running continuously. This logfile size keeps increasing rapidly. While trying to manipulate the file, we deleted the file from the directory. But the process kept on writing into the file and the directory space got filled up.
According to inode concept, the file is not completely removed until the last reference to the inode is gone.
My question is how to trace these inodes which exist even after the files get deleted but a process is working on it.
Please let me know if i am not clear.
