I hope this Qs. is not off topic here.
When the kernel writes the dir to the disk(with , say, a newly
created pathname), it will write the newly created inode to disk first.
If between theses 2 ops. there is aafaiulure, I guess the inode is
allocated on disk but cannot be accessed thru dir.
So how can we access this inode? What becomes off it?
Can anyone direct me to the appropriate kernel code for this ...
