My understanding of 'inodes' (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inode) is that they contain the information necessary to access certain blocks of a file, but not the file data itself. Then I was wondering what the major differences between a live, and a dead, inode are.
I've heard the terms get swapped around often, but the only inference I can make is that perhaps dead inodes are ones that may be proceeded to be 'garbage collected'...
Thanks :)
