The other day, I did something really stupid. I started a download with BitTorrent, and, half-way through, deleted the file it was downloading.
The file still existed because the torrent client had it open. I could use 'lsof' to get an inode number -- but I needed some way to get access to that node without having an entry in the file tree. I looked in a bunch of obvious places -- /proc/nnn/fd, man pages and source for mknod, ln, and libc's link(). But it seems that all the work relating to actual inodes is done in kernel space -- where I have no experience. Is it possible to access the file using a utility or small C program? Would you have to write code for the kernel? - Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
