Question

Which of the following is not stored in inode?

(a) file name

(b) inode number

(c) file size

(d) file name and inode number

This question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

My question is from Advanced File Handling Commands in chapter Customizing the Environment & More File Attributes of Unix

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) file name and inode number

The explanation: Neither the name of the file nor the inode number associated with it is stored in the inode. It is the directory which stores the inode number along with the filename.
