What are nodes and innodes |
|
Answer» The inode (INDEX node) is a data structure in a Unix-style file system that describes a file-system object such as a file or a directory. Each inode stores the attributes and DISK block locations of the object's data.File-system object attributes may include metadata (times of LAST change,access, modification), as well as OWNER and permission data. A node is a basic unit of a data structure, such as a linked list or tree data structure. Nodes contain data and also may link to other nodes. Links between nodes are often implemented by pointers. |
