Hi,
Is there any way to get the file name if i-node number is known?
regards,
raja

Recursively scan the entire filesystem on which the inode resides.
Note that you aren't guaranteed to obtain a single filename. If the
file has multiple hard links, there will be multiple filenames. If the
file has been deleted (which can occur even if it's still open), you
won't find any matching filenames.
