What I want to know about inodes and can't find anywhere


How does the system assign the "inode" value to whatever ?

Is it a one-up number and if so, where does the system keep track of this ?

Are file inodes based on the inode of the directory it lives in ?

And are pids of executables created based on the inode of that executable ?

Thanks, Donna
