The one in the glock line or the one in the I: line? From RedHat docs I have read, I should convert the 81523 (from the '2/ 81523') to decimal, which is 533795, and then use 'find -inum 533795' to locate the file after the filesystem has been unfrozen. I guess my confusion is the definition of a "disk inode's block address" versus an "inode disk address". Could you clarify the difference for me?
