Find directory/file with inode number
Couple of days back, I was getting the following error:
Directory inode 2362521 has an unallocated block #245823. Allocate?
And this continued for hours together and I was in a hurry. Did not really care about the error and all I wanted was to get rid of the error but for that I needed to get to the file/directory with inode number mentioned in the error and finally “find” command came to rescue:
find . -inum
This gave me the directory with the inode number in the error and all I had to do was delete that directory 🙂
