Data structures that contain information about files in Unix file systems that are created when a file system is created. Each file has an inode and is identified by an inode number (i-number) in the file system where it resides. inodes provide important information on files such as user and group ownership, access mode (read, write, execute permissions) and type. There are a set number of inodes, which indicates the maximum number of files the system can hold. A file's inode number can be found using the ls -i command, while the ls -l command will retrieve inode information.   Related Categories File Management UNIX Related Terms file file management system journaled file system UNIX MP3 Players ipod Products Find best prices on MP3 Accessories at DealTime and save money!
