Well, for starters, it'd help if you started answering any of our questions.

If you want to make these changes persistent on disk, it's not just the inode you're wanting to modify, but the entire kernel and filesystem... A bit of a tall order, and modifying the inode without that is a pretty tall order by itself.

There may be better ways to monitor what you want without modifying the kernel itself, like tracing the kernel.

NAME
ffind - Finds the name of the file or directory using a given inode SYNOPSIS
ffind [-aduvV] [-f fstype] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] image inode DESCRIPTION
ffind finds the names of files or directories that are allocated to inode on disk image image. By default it only will only return the first name it finds. With some file systems, this will find deleted file names. ARGUMENTS
image [images] One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with '-i'. inode Integer of inode to find. The optional arguments are: -a Find all occurrences of inode. -d Find deleted entries only. -f fstype Identify the file system type of the image. Use '-f list' to list the supported file system types. If not given, autodetection methods are used. -u Find undeleted entries only. -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. -v Verbose output to stderr. -V Display version. This program searches all directory entries looking for the given inode. This is useful when an inode has been identified from a disk unit address using ifind(1). EXAMPLE
