> under SunOS there was a way to delete a file given it's i-node. Yes and no. You probably mean "clri" which cleared the inode, but did not "remove the file", i.e. all the entries in directories pointing to it.
In older Unices there was also "ncheck" to find the filesystem names for inode numbers. I cannot find either command in Linux. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
