SSA Links

[Germo]

Me Again,

I have a system that for about three years has LV linked to data (informix LV's RAW) with the command used

ln rinfck001 data_ids1

Over the last 6 month I have changed this to run

ln -s rinfck001 data_ids1

instead so that I can see what is link to what, the problem I am having that all links done before I changed it don't show me what is linked to what (no "-->" next to the file), is there a way I can get this info?

Thanks

Correction...

It is not actually SSA Links more like file links.

# find /home -i 11
/home/test
/home/hl_test

where 11 is the inode number.

But I am sure there mast be an easier way...

of course inode number you can get using ls command:

# ls -i *test
11 hl_test 11 test

In a ls -l listing of /dev you can look for the same major and minor device number.

Try sth. like this:

INFDISK=data_ids1
maj=$(ls -l /dev/${INF_DISK}|awk '{print $5}')
min=$(ls -l /dev/${INF_DISK}|awk '{print $6}')

ls -ld /dev/c*|grep "${maj}  *${min}"

HTH,

Given a filesystem "/fs",

find /fs -xdev -exec ls -i {} \; | sort -n

will give you a listing of the filesystem, sorted by inode number. Any two (or more) files having the same inode number are hard linked, and will be adjacent in the list. The -xdev switch restricts the find to the given filesystem, since inodes are only unique within a single filesystem.
