Issue
If I have the inode number: 263167, what is the meaning of 2, then of 6, then 3, and so on until 7...?
I did a research, but I didn't found something like this.
I want to know what is the purpose of every number of an inode. Maybe it is strange because I didn't saw this explanation before, but I know that every number has a special meaning.
Thank you all!
Solution
Inode numbers are arbitrary numbers assigned by the filesystem; the individual digits by themselves don't mean anything. You are probably thinking of file modes instead.
