bfs inodes
The inode contains all the information about a file
except its name.
Filenames are kept in the root directory,
the only directory in the
bfs
filesystem.
An inode is 64 bytes long.
The number of inodes is defined when
mkfs
is used to create the filesystem.
An inode contains the following:
-
inode number
(by convention, this field is set to zero
to show that the inode is available)
-
first data block
-
last data block
-
disk offset to the end-of-file (in bytes)
-
file attributes
-
type and mode of the file
-
user ID of the owner of the file
-
group ID to which the file belongs
-
number of hard links to the file
-
date and time the file was last accessed
-
date and time the file was last modified
-
date and time the file was created
