Here's part of the content - you would like to know it all? Delve into this book today!..... : Index is my best guess, because of the slightly unusual file system structure that stored the access information of files as a flat array on the disk, with all the hierarchical directory information living aside from this.
... The inode number indexes a table of inodes in a known location on the device; from the inode number, the file system driver portion of the kernel can access the contents of the inode, including the location of the file allowing access to the file.
... A file's inode number stays the same when it is moved to another directory on the same device, or when the disk is defragmented which may change its physical location. This also implies that completely conforming inode behavior is impossible to implement with many non-Unix file systems, such as FAT and its descendants, which don't have a way of storing this invariance when both a file's directory entry and its data are moved around.
There is absolutely nothing that isn't thoroughly covered in the book. It is straightforward, and does an excellent job of explaining all about Inode in key topics and material. There is no reason to invest in any other materials to learn about Inode. You'll understand it all.
Inside the Guide: Inode, XFS, Symbolic link, ReiserFS, JFS (file system), inode pointer structure, File system
