nothing really. the inode contains data about where that file exists within the directory / folder structure. so the inode is just updated with the new location. Also note that this is more or less how it works on all operating systems.

What are stored in a file's inode?

Mostly depends on the filesystem, but generally it'll be the name of the file, the kind of file it is (Regular, directory, or link.), where the file is found physically, which can be multiple values. File's size, and I believe also file permissions.


What type of information is kept by Unix-like systems about each file on your computer?

The filesystem will keep metadata like filename, file permissions, file type (as far as whether it's a regular file, a directory, a named pipe, device file, and so on), file creation and modified date. In addition, if the filesystem being used utilizes inodes, it will also have information on the inode that file is on.


What is in inode and what information that is contain?

An inode is a data structure in a Unix-style file system that stores information about a file or directory, such as its permissions, ownership, size, and location on the disk. It also contains pointers to the actual data blocks of the file. Each file on the system is represented by an inode.


What is an inode number in Linux?

An inode is a data structure on a traditional Unix-style file system such as UFS or ext3. An inode stores basic information about a regular file, directory, or other file system object. Each and every file under Linux (and UNIX) has following attributes: * File type (executable, block special etc) * Permissions (read, write etc) * Owner * Group * File Size * File access, change and modification time * File deletion time * Number of links (soft/hard) * Access Control List (ACLs) All the above information is stored in an inode. So, each file has an inode associated with it and an unique number called inode number. This number is used to look up an entry in the inode table.

What is inode structure?

Data structures that contain information about files in Unix file systems that are created when a file system is created. Each file has an inode and is identified by an inode number (i-number) in the file system where it resides. inodes provide important information on files such as user and group ownership, access mode (read, write, execute permissions) and type

What is different between hard link and soft link?

A soft link is a special file on the filesystem that points to another file or folder and for the most part acts as if it *is* the file in question. Deleting the file pointed to will result in the link being broken.A hard link is less like that and more like another inode for that file data. In essense, a hard link is as much the original file as the original file. Delete the original file and the file will still exist due to the hard link. It's not the same as a COPY in that it's the same data, not duplicate data being referred to by multiple inodes. These do not work across filesystems for obvious reasons.
