I am trying to understand the concept of the inode number of an inode. Is an inode number an/the id of an inode?Does an inode have exactly one inode number? or can an inode have zero or more than one inode numbers?When is an/the inode number assigned to an inode?Is the inode number of an inode changeable?Does it make sense to change the inode number of an inode?If I need to be specific, I am referring to file systems native to Linux.
Is an inode number a non-changeable id of an inode?
