Special Forums Cybersecurity UNIX files timestamping - Need experts opinion as testimonial Post 302896442 by Corona688 on Monday 7th of April 2014 03:11:03 PM

Oh, yes -- this is because of the way files can exist in multiple places on a UNIX filesystem, via hardlinks. It's effectively the exact same file but in multiple places (though they must all be on the same partition). Attributes in the inode(user, group, size, atime, mtime, and so forth) are all shared. Which means name plainly can't be in the inode.

They probably put it in the directory entry instead.

As you've been told many times by now, how the filesystem is laid out depends on what system and what filesystem is being used. If you're curious about an
"average" one, I suggest looking at the structures of the linux ext2 filesystem. (which definitely keeps the name in the directory entry.)
