vxlsino - VxFS reverse path name lookup utility
vxlsino [ -a ] inode_number mount_point
The vxlsino command searches for and displays one path name of a file or directory with the specified inode number. If the -a option is specified, all path names of a file or directory with the specified inode number are displayed.
inode_number is the inode for which to find the path name.
mount_point specifies the mounted VxFS file system.
vxlsino operates only on file systems using the Version 6 or higher disk layout.
Reverse path name lookup does not track symbolic links to files.
vxlsino uses the vxfs_inotopath API to obtain the path name (see the vxfs_inotopath(3) manual page).
No cluster issues; command operates the same on cluster file systems.
Displays all the path names of the specified inode number.
The following is an example of the reverse name lookup procedure on the file system /mnt1. List the contents of the directory:
417 drwxrwxrwx 2 root other 2048 Aug 24 17:02 dir1
140 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 12 Aug 24 17:02 file1
3 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Aug 24 17:02 lost+found
80 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 0 Aug 25 10:54 file3
480 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 0 Aug 24 17:02 file2
To determine the single path name of inode number 140, enter:
Create hard links to the file file3:
80 -rw-rw-rw- 3 root other 0 Aug 25 10:54 ../file3
To determine the single path name of inode number 80, enter:
To determine all the path names of inode number 80, enter:
When an inode number corresponds to a VxFS named data stream, the file name is preceded by a dot (.). For example, if inode number 100 corresponds to the named data stream attributes of the file file2, the command displays the following output:
ls_vxfs(1), fcladm(1M), vxfs_inotopath(3)
