Hi All, I have a doubt here .. I have created a file and noted its inode number and then edited the file with vi, I am amused that inode entry got changed. [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# touch test [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# ls -il total 0 131381 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 8 10:36 test [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# vi test [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# ls -il total 4 131386 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Mar 8 10:37 test [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# cat test test123 ------------------------------- [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# cat > test Test123 [1]+ Stopped cat >test [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# cat test Test123 [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# ls -il total 4 131386 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Mar 8 11:25 test [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# -------------------------------- [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# vi test [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# cat test Test123 test123 [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# ls -il total 4 131385 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Mar 8 11:26 test [root@linuxbox123 tennis]# ----------------------------------- Now, I do not understand why this inode entries get changed with Vi but not cat , can any one please tell me why is it so.. thanks, Nikhil -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
