An inode (index node) is a data structure used in Unix file systems to store metadata about files and directories. It serves as a unique identifier for each file/directory on the file system. Here are the key points about inodes:
* Each file/directory has an associated inode that stores its metadata, such as file type, permissions, ownership, timestamps, and pointers to the file's data blocks on disk.
* inodes are identified by a unique number within a file system. This inode number is used by the operating system to access the file's metadata and data blocks.
* Each file system has a fixed number of inodes determined during its creation, limiting the maximum number of files it can hold. Running out of inodes can cause issues even if disk space is available.
