volume file show-inode

Display file paths for a given inode

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description​

This command displays information about all the files having a given inode in a volume of a Vserver. If the -snapshot-id or -snapshot-name parameter is specified, the command displays file information from the Snapshot copy; otherwise, it displays the information from the active file system. The -vserver, -volume and -inode-number are mandatory parameters.

If no optional parameter is specified, the command displays the following fields for all the files having the given inode:

  • Vserver Name

  • Volume Name

  • Inode Number

  • File Path

The volume file show-inode command is only supported on flexible volumes and FlexGroup constituents.

  • File Path

  • Snapshot Name

  • Snapshot ID

  • File Name

  • Parent Inode Number

-vserver <vserver name> - Vserver Name
This specifies the Vserver in which the volume or Snapshot copy is located.
-volume <volume name> - Volume Name
This specifies the volume in which the inode number is located.
-inode-number <integer> - Inode Number
This specifies the inode number whose information has to be retrieved.
{ [-snapshot-name <snapshot name>] - Snapshot Name
If this parameter or -snapshot-id is specified, information about the files is retrieved from the Snapshot copy instead of the active file system.
| [-snapshot-id <integer>]} - Physical Snapshot ID
If this parameter or -snapshot-name is specified, information about the files is retrieved from the Snapshot copy instead of the active file system.
[-file-path <text>] - File Path
If this parameter is specified, the command displays information only about the files that match the specified file path.
[-file-name <text>] - File Name
If this parameter is specified, the command displays information only about the files that match the specified file name.
[-parent-inode-number <integer>] - Parent Inode Number

Examples​

The following example displays information about all the files having the inode number 96 in the active file system of a volume named vol1 on a Vserver named vs1:

cluster1::> volume file show-inode -vserver vs1 -volume vol1 -inode-number 96
                               Inode
        Vserver   Volume       Number   File Path
        --------- ------------ -------- ----------------------------------
        vs1       vol1         96       /vol/vol1/file1
        vs1       vol1         96       /vol/vol1/file2
        vs1       vol1         96       /vol/vol1/A/file2
        3 entries were displayed.

The following example displays information about all the files with inode number 96 in a Snapshot copy named mysnap. The Snapshot copy is present in a volume named vol1 on a Vserver named vs1:

cluster1::> volume file show-inode -vserver vs1 -volume vol1 -inode-number 96 -snapshot-name mysnap -snapshot
                               Inode    Snapshot Snapshot
        Vserver   Volume       Number   Name     ID        File Path
        --------- ------------ -------- -------- -------- -------------------------
        vs1       vol1         96       mysnap   131      /vol/vol1/.snapshot/mysnap/file1
        vs1       vol1         96       mysnap   131      /vol/vol1/.snapshot/mysnap/file2
        2 entries were displayed.

The following example displays detailed information about all the files with inode number 96 in a Snapshot copy named mysnap. The Snapshot copy is present in a volume named vol1 on a Vserver named vs1:

cluster1::> volume file show-inode -vserver vs1 -volume vol1 -inode-number 96 -snapshot-name mysnap -instance

                Vserver Name: vs1
                 Volume Name: vol1
                Inode number: 96
