I know I asked this before, but I'm still looking for a superior
solution.
I want to be able to find files/directories by their inode number. I
know I can use 'find -inum' but this is excruciatingly slow at first.
Repeated 'find's are quicker so it must cache the data, but initially
it is very slow. I guess it must be simply doing a file by file scan
until it matches the number, which is way slower than 'find'ing by
name.
I need to find the actual path from the inode number, can anyone
suggest a faster way of doing it?
