    Re: Inode Table

    a inode is a very important in unix.
    it s stored in a specific location of our hard disk.
    kernal only reads it and it only generate the inode.
    in the inode table only, the file attributes like permission are available.
    ls -l refers to the inode table only.
    when we create a file or dir kernal assign the inode no.

    Re: Inode Table

    in Unix and it flavors a file is internally represented by its inode.
    inode is a data structure which stores the complete information about the file.
    owner of the file interms of uid
    group ie gid
    last accesses time
    last modified
    starting address location of file
    size of file.
    permission of the file rwx

    it is generally stored at the starting of the block where file is started. and this inode is loaded into main memory , stored in a table,which is used for further accesses.
