How to obtain path from file number?

Question

Note that I've read http://help.wugnet.com/windows2/HOWTO-Convert-CHKDSK-NTFS-MFT-FRS-file-number-path-ftopict520702.html, and the suggestions listed there are trialware/obsolete/simply not working or possibly even damaging. Besides there ought to be a better solution three years later. But the task is just as listed there: how to find a file's full path based on the number reported by chkdsk.

Answer 1

On Linux, the ntfsinfo tool from ntfsprogs has an option -i num to display the contents of a single inode. However, you only get the file names, along with their parent directories, but you can use this script to get a list of absolute paths for a given inode. Use any Linux live CD (for example, Ubuntu's) for this.

Answer 2

Have you tried fsutils queryfileid?
