Does anybody know anything about the way that VMFS 6 uses to number inodes ?
As far as I know the inode numbers for the hidden .sf files always use the same numbers:
ls -iahl
4194308 -r-------- 1 root root 56.6M Jul 18 18:46 .fbb.sf
8388612 -r-------- 1 root root 128.6M Jul 18 18:46 .fdc.sf
33554436 -r-------- 1 root root 256.2M Jul 18 18:46 .jbc.sf
25165828 -r-------- 1 root root 16.1M Jul 18 18:46 .pb2.sf
12582916 -r-------- 1 root root 64.0K Jul 18 18:46 .pbc.sf
16777220 -r-------- 1 root root 1.0G Jul 18 18:46 .sbc.sf
29360132 drwx------ 1 root root 68.0K Jul 18 18:46 .sdd.sf
20971524 -r-------- 1 root root 7.0M Jul 18 18:46 .vh.sf
I would like to be able to predict the numbers that will be used for additional directories.
If you want to help - please list the inode numbers of a VMFS 6 volumes with lots of directories and files with the command
ls -ilhaR > inodes.txt
Thank you
