Play around with inode allocation

inode_test.sh

# Example 1 - Remove file after every iteration... note inodes are
# often reused after each deletion
for i in {1..1000}; do
    filename=/tmp/file$i
    echo "Creating " $filename
    echo "blahblah" > $filename
    stat -c "%i" $filename
    echo "Removing " $filename
    rm $filename
done

# Example 2 - Create files, but don't remove until the end.  Note inodes not often reused
for i in {1..1000}; do
    filename=/tmp/file$i
    echo "Creating " $filename
    echo "blahblah" > $filename
    stat -c "%i" $filename
done
for i in {1..1000}; do
    filename=/tmp/file$i
    rm $filename
done
