Actually under Linux he could probably pipe "clri %d" to debugfs if
that is what he wanted to do. On the other hand he said "unix
environment" which could be anything really.

Yes and no. You probably mean "clri" which cleared the inode, but did
not "remove the file", i.e. all the entries in directories pointing to
it.
In older Unices there was also "ncheck" to find the filesystem names
for inode numbers

I don't know if there is a Linux equivalent, but under SunOS
there was a way to delete a file given it's i-node. And that's
all it did was delete th
Good answer. :) I seriously doubt it is possible except for the
trivial solution:
def remove_a_file(inode):
os.system ("find / -inum %d | xargs rm -f" % (inode))
PS. Don't blame me if this function destroys your hard disk. I wrote it
off the top of my head.
