Inode number changes for a file in Redhat Linux
Hi,
I have created a file a.txt in Redhat Linux.
Inode number for a file changes every time i update the file using vi editor , gedit etc.
Is there any setting that can be made , such that inode number never changes as that is supposed to be the expected behavior?
Or if we cannot restrict the inode number change , is there a way to identify the file uniquely as inode number does.
I need a way to differentiate between a.txt that is modified and a.txt that was created after renaming the earlier a..txt to a.txt.1
Kindly reply
Thanks in Advance.
