Well, where the inodes hide until closed varies with operating system and perhaps with file system. With Solaris, /proc suffices. Some of the file names in there give device and inode by number, as I recall, and may also be there as /dev/fd/some-number. Some file systems can actually lose track of space with overload, and need a reboot or more to rebuild the fs.
