What is your intention here? If you need this to actually get stored on disk you'll need to change a lot more than a structure.

Could someone please explain to me the concept of INodes?
Colour me a DOS/MacOS junkie, but I don't quite understand.
Is there any relation to clusters, or physical distro.?

Does anyone know what command I can run to check how many inodes are in use on a specific filesystem. On Data General servers I used to run the df -k command to check the status of the inodes for all file system.s (1 Reply)

how is the location of inodes in the physical disk.
are they sequential like:
bootblock|superblock|inode1|inode2| ....| datablock1|datablock2|datablock3
or are they distributed among data blocks like:

getdiskbyname_r
getdiskbyname(3) Library Functions Manual getdiskbyname(3)
NAME
getdiskbyname, getdiskbyname_r - Get the disk description using a disk name
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/disklabel.h> #include <sys/types.h>
struct disklabel *getdiskbyname( char *name);
int getdiskbyname_r( char *name, struct disklabel *disk, char *boot, int boot_len);
PARAMETERS
Specifies a common name for the disk drive whose geometry and partition characteristics are sought. Points to the structure that will con-
tain the returned disk description. Points to the buffer that will contain the optional names of the primary and secondary bootstraps.
Specifies the length of boot. This should be BUFSIZ.
DESCRIPTION
Operations supported by the getdiskbyname function are also supported by the createlabel function. See The getdiskbyname and getdiskby-
name_r functions are supported only for backward compatibility with DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0 and earlier versions. These functions will be
retired in a future release of Tru64 UNIX.
The getdiskbyname() function uses a disk (disk drive) name to return a pointer to a structure that describes the geometry and standard par-
tition characteristics of the named disk drive. Information obtained from the /etc/disktab database file is written to the type disklabel
structure space referenced by the returned pointer.
The getdiskbyname_r() function is the reentrant version of getdiskbyname(). Upon successful completion, getdiskbyname_r() returns a value
of 0 (zero); the returned structure is pointed at by disk. Upon error, it returns a value of -1, and may set errno to [EINVAL].
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the getdiskbyname() function, returns a pointer to a type disklabel structure.
ERRORS
Either disk or boot is NULL, or boot_len is not equal to BUFSIZ.
