inquirer, there is no such thing as a file without an inode. Files (which have inodes) that are not listed in any directory are what gets reattached to lost+found and the name used is the inode number with a # in front of it.

DPAI, to most shells a # starts a comment. Try "ls \#0007680" or "ls ?0007680" or "ls *0007680".
