An inode is the chunk of metadata in the filesystem that describes a

Sorry to be That Guy, but an inode is definitely not a directory entry,
it's something a directory entry points to.
*I* know what an inode is but I was trying to give a non-technical user
a simpler idea of it since he really doesn't need the details. I also
pretty clearly said it wasn't really a directory entry. My first
description was correct and then I gave a simpler concept that was good
enough.
