No of inodes equals no of data blocks in a linux file sysem?
Hi guys,
In a linux file system,do the number of inodes and the number of data blocks same? Thankx |
No, they are not the same.
Here is one link for more info, you can Google for other links with "inode" "Linux filesystem" "Unix filesystem" or similar keywords: http://www.linfo.org/inode.html Here is a kernel-level description: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/os...ary/vfs-7.html |
No. There are a lot more data blocks than inodes. A likely ratio is about 20 to 1.

In Linux, an "inode" is basically the representation of "a single file." The name is historical. Directories, in turn, associate names with those inodes.
