I'm trying to relink a file someone tried to delete while a process (that we don't want to shutdown) also had a filehandle open to it.
Consequently, we've got an inode entry but no directory entry (aka 'file') for it.
I've tracked the inode number down via lsof, as well as the particular filehandle the process has within the /proc filesystem.
This filehandle is presented as a standard "file"/directory entry in /proc/<pid>/fd and I can read from it ok as I would any other file.
I was hoping to create a link to it back where it used to be but I keep getting a 'No such file or directory' error. I know I've got my ln syntax correct as I've tested it out on plain files elsewhere.
Is ln the tool to use here? Surely if I know the inode number, filehandle and what it used to be called, I can recreate it?

At risk of twisting the rules to nearly the point of breaking (if you think this goes too far mods, I apologise and accept that this should be deleted), I'm hoping someone might be able to cast a little light on the following problem regarding hard links to files.

dir_ufs
dir_ufs(4) File Formats dir_ufs(4)NAME
dir_ufs, dir - format of ufs directories
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/fs/ufs_fsdir.h>
DESCRIPTION
A directory consists of some number of blocks of DIRBLKSIZ bytes, where DIRBLKSIZ is chosen such that it can be transferred to disk in a
single atomic operation, for example, 512 bytes on most machines.
Each DIRBLKSIZ-byte block contains some number of directory entry structures, which are of variable length. Each directory entry has a
struct direct at the front of it, containing its inode number, the length of the entry, and the length of the name contained in the entry.
These entries are followed by the name padded to a 4 byte boundary with null bytes. All names are guaranteed null-terminated. The maximum
length of a name in a directory is MAXNAMLEN.
#define DIRBLKSIZ DEV_BSIZE
#define MAXNAMLEN 256
struct direct {
ulong_t d_ino; /* inode number of entry */
ushort_t d_reclen; /* length of this record */
ushort_t d_namlen; /* length of string in d_name */
char d_name[MAXNAMLEN + 1]; /* maximum name length */
};
