Hi, I came across the member i_ino in the inode structure. This is supposed to store the information about the file system of the file which owns this inode. So what are the values of ext2, /proc etc file systems. where can i find the information about this. thanks, raghu -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
