site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com I would like to find out, how can I get an inode number for a given vnode or filename. For a vnode I can use vnode_getattr(), but it requires vfs context as one of it's parameters. I can get the context by using vfs_context_current(), but it seems to be in com.apple.kpi.unsupported. Are there any other *supported* ways to get And at last, does inode number and/or device id change over time and, if they do, under what circumstances?

We discussed it recently over <filesystem-dev@lists.apple.com>. If you search the list archive for "inode number", you'll find lots of useful info. Specifically, the thread "Can i rely on inode numbers?". This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
