find / -inum 12345 -ls
This is also extremely useful when on a Unix with sucky terminal emulation
and the DBA manages to create a file with ^H's, ^C's, ^Z's and all kinds
of escape characters in the filename, and you're using the Bourne or Korn
shell which suck at filename completion. And you need to delete the file.
ls -li to get the inode, then find . -inum 12345 -exec rm -rf {} \;
