hi everyone, I am a newbie who just started to learn the Linux kernel. I would like to figure out all the attributes of a given specific file. For example: given /etc/hosts I would like to find out the inode number, the block number where it resides , the device number where the file is present , etc., some of these things can be found using the ls command and it's flags but i could'nt figure out some like the block numbers !! is there a data structure inside the kernel where all these details about the files are stored ?? if so which data strcture and where can i find that ?? I am using an ext2 fs .. are there any ext2 file system utilities that can figure out all these details ?? Thanx for u'r time Karthik __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
