Hi all, I am new to this list and I have a question: Can anyone please tell me the answers to the following: 1.How many inodes are there in a single block ? 2.After a inode is deleted , is it appended to the end of free inodes list? 3.Is there any preference in which the inodes are allocated in choosing between inodes that has never been allocated and inodes which were once allocated but are now free? 4.Doess the data in an inode remains unchanged when it is deleted? Please consider the ext2 file system while answering my query It would help me immensely if I get the answers to the above.Thanks in advance for all the help you can give. Thanks, Kaustubh Ghosh
