Patent abstract
Information identifying the inode of the parent directory of a file may be stored in that file's inode. A reverse pathname lookup from the file's inode identifier may be performed by reading a parent directory inode identifier of the file's parent directory from the file's inode and using the parent directory inode identifier to generate a pathname for the file. Generating the pathname may involve identifying the filename of the file by searching the parent directory identified by the parent inode identifier for the file's filename. A file's inode may include more than one parent directory inode identifier.
