How to get the filename of which has been deleted if I know the inode number?
How to get the filename of which has been deleted if I know the inode number.
i can use the command "istat" to get the inode number of the file.
Code:
# istat
/proc/[pid]/fd/x
If this file has been deleted,but the process of this file has not been closed and handle has not been released ,so this file has not been released yet.
then ,how can i get the path of which it has been deleted before if i know the inode number in AIX?
Thank you very much!

Hi, I know that inode for each file is unique, but is it the for the directory? So far I found different directories has the same inode nubmer when you do ls -i, could some one explain why? Thanks a lot. (9 Replies)
as kernel keeps track of user activities on a file by its INODE number and I node table .
what is the structure of Inode table. and where does this Inode table mapped into?user space or kernel space?
is the Inode Number is fixed for a file till its deletion?

Hi all
when I execute pmap command on one of my daemon process, I am able to see the following output.

Is there any tool or program to know how much free inode are there in inode free list . (2 Replies)
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.

fls
FLS(1) General Commands Manual FLS(1)NAME
fls - List file and directory names in a disk image.
SYNOPSIS
fls [-adDFlpruvV] [-m mnt ] [-z zone ] [-f fstype ] [-s seconds ] [-i imgtype ] [-o imgoffset ] [-b dev_sector_size] image [images] [ inode
]
DESCRIPTION
fls lists the files and directory names in the image and can display file names of recently deleted files for the directory using the given
inode. If the inode argument is not given, the inode value for the root directory is used. For example, on an NTFS file system it would be
5 and on a Ext3 file system it would be 2.
The arguments are as follows:
-a Display the "." and ".." directory entries (by default it does not)
-d Display deleted entries only
-D Display directory entries only
-f fstype
The type of file system. Use '-f list' to list the supported file system types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.
-F Display file (all non-directory) entries only.
-l Display file details in long format. The following contents are displayed:
file_type inode file_name mod_time acc_time chg_time cre_time size uid gid
-m mnt Display files in time machine format so that a timeline can be created with mactime(1). The string given as mnt will be
prepended to the file names as the mounting point (for example /usr).
-p Display the full path for each entry. By default it denotes the directory depth on recursive runs with a '+' sign.
-r Recursively display directories. This will not follow deleted directories, because it can't.
-s seconds
The time skew of the original system in seconds. For example, if the original system was 100 seconds slow, this value would be
-100. This is only used if -l or -m are given.
-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.
-u Display undeleted entries only
-v Verbose output to stderr.
-V Display version.
-z zone
The ASCII string of the time zone of the original system. For example, EST or GMT. These strings must be defined by your operating
system and may vary.
image [images]
One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with '-i'.
Once the inode has been determined, the file can be recovered using icat(1) from The Coroners Toolkit. The amount of information recovered
from deleted file entries varies depending on the system. For example, on Linux, a recently deleted file can be easily recovered, while in
Solaris not even the inode can be determined. If you just want to find what file name belongs to an inode, it is easier to use ffind(1).
EXAMPLES
To get a list of all files and directories in an image use:
# fls -r image 2
or just (if no inode is specified, the root directory inode is used):
# fls -r image
To get the full path of deleted files in a given directory:
# fls -d -p image 29
To get the mactime output do:
# fls -m /usr/local image 2
If you have a disk image and the file system starts in sector 63, use:
# fls -o 63 disk-img.dd
If you have a disk image that is split use:
# fls -i "split" -o 63 disk-1.dd disk-2.dd disk-3.dd
