What is in-core copy and disk-copy of i-node table?
I have found a question from the exercises of my study mat. The question is
"Why are there a in-core copy and a disk-copy of i-node block and super block?"
If any one know the proper answer then please send me.....

Ok. I screwed up. Using dd, I made a bit-for-bit copy of disk /dev/hda, which contains 3 partitions.
dd if=/dev/hda of=olddrive.iso bs=2048k

ICHECK(8) System Manager's Manual ICHECK(8)
NAME
icheck - file system storage consistency check
SYNOPSIS
icheck [ -s ] [ -b numbers ] [ filesystem ]
DESCRIPTION
Icheck examines a file system, builds a bit map of used blocks, and compares this bit map against the free list maintained on the file sys-
tem. If the file system is not specified, a set of default file systems is checked. The normal output of icheck includes a report of
The total number of files and the numbers of regular, directory, block special and character special files, quota nodes, and sym-
bolic links.
The total number of blocks in use and the numbers of single-, double-, and triple-indirect blocks and directory blocks.
The number of free blocks.
The number of blocks missing; i.e. not in any file nor in the free list.
The -s option causes icheck to ignore the actual free list and reconstruct a new one by rewriting the super-block of the file system. The
file system should be dismounted while this is done; if this is not possible (for example if the root file system has to be salvaged) care
should be taken that the system is quiescent and that it is rebooted immediately afterwards so that the old, bad in-core copy of the super-
block will not continue to be used. Notice also that the words in the super-block which indicate the size of the free list and of the i-
list are believed. If the super-block has been curdled these words will have to be patched. The -s option causes the normal output
reports to be suppressed.
Following the -b option is a list of block numbers; whenever any of the named blocks turns up in a file, a diagnostic is produced.
Icheck is faster if the raw version of the special file is used, since it reads the i-list many blocks at a time.
SEE ALSO
filsys(5), clri(8), dcheck(8), fsck(8), ncheck(8)
DIAGNOSTICS
For duplicate blocks and bad blocks (which lie outside the file system) icheck announces the difficulty, the i-number, and the kind of
block involved. If a read error is encountered, the block number of the bad block is printed and icheck considers it to contain 0. `Bad
freeblock' means that a block number outside the available space was encountered in the free list. `n dups in free' means that n blocks
were found in the free list which duplicate blocks either in some file or in the earlier part of the free list.
BUGS
Since icheck is inherently two-pass in nature, extraneous diagnostics may be produced if applied to active file systems. Since default
file systems vary with installations, icheck should use fstab(5).
It believes even preposterous super-blocks and consequently can get core images.
