What is an inode?
Inode is where the computer system in the UNIX style stores file information in the system. Each file in the system is bound to one of these nodes that monitor information such as ownership, permissions and file type. Inods are identified by numbers. About 1 percent of the file system storage system is usually used for this type of storage.
UNIX -style computer systems are from UNIX. They are often used on servers, computer workstations and mobile devices. Unix was developed in 1969 by AT&T employees who worked at Bell Labs. UNIX -based examples include Linux and Berkeley, sometimes known as Berkeley Unix.
Inode is part of the basic file system of these types of operating systems. The file system organizes computer files and data that relates to them in the database so that the operating system can store, organize and use them. Uses inods to store basicFile Asnebor information. Instead, Inode stores information about which user or group of the file of own and which users and groups have permission to read, edit or use the file. It also stores information about the type of file.
For most systems, only about 1 percent of file storage is used for Inods. This limits the number of files that the system can maintain. Once a new file is created, new inods are also created. If the user tries to create too many files, the storage limit can be reached and prevent new files from being created.
When creating each inode, a number is assigned. This number remains the same when the disk on which the file is located is defragmented, although this defragment results in a file transfer. If the file is moved manually, the number is also the same.
The operating system maintains the Inode database. This database to useIt is a computer to track and access information in every Inode. The files can also be open by access to Inode through the database.
A computer user can find an individual file. He or she can do it using the LS -i command. This command causes Inode to display some information stored for the file.
