In native filesystems, the inode stores:
Directories are special files which contains a mapping linking names to an inode.
In many filesystems, short data can be stored in the directory.
No, the filename is not stored in the inode; the inode contains things such as a pointer to the user, date/time stamps, number of links to it, etc.

You don't edit inodes manually. They are managed by the file system driver.
An inode is a data structure on a traditional Unix-style file system such as UFS or ext3. An inode stores basic information about a regular file, directory, or other file system object. Each and every file under Linux (and UNIX) has following attributes: * File type (executable, block special etc) * Permissions (read, write etc) * Owner * Group * File Size * File access, change and modification time * File deletion time * Number of links (soft/hard) * Access Control List (ACLs) All the above information is stored in an inode. So, each file has an inode associated with it and an unique number called inode number. This number is used to look up an entry in the inode table.
Data structures that contain information about files in Unix file systems that are created when a file system is created. Each file has an inode and is identified by an inode number (i-number) in the file system where it resides. inodes provide important information on files such as user and group ownership, access mode (read, write, execute permissions) and type
This information is stored in the inode for the file.
For the purpose of this question, I'll stick to file systems that Linux natively supports and can boot off of.FAT12FAT16FAT32X-FAT (used on the Xbox)Minixextext2ext3ReiserFSReiser4JFSXFS
icore inode is work before inode. icore inode is dynamic information about the file. incore inode tranlate information or data,in other words incore inode made before inode and any manipulation or information changed in the icore inode..... inode doesnot change file information & not perform any operation on file............
In computing, an inode (index node) is a data structure found in many Unix file systems. Each inode stores all the information about a file system object (file, directory, device node, socket, pipe, etc.), except data content and file name.The reason for designating these as "i" nodes is unknown. When asked, Unix pioneer Dennis Ritchie replied:In truth, I don't know either. It was just a term that we started to use. "Index" is my best guess, because of the slightly unusual file system structure that stored the access information of files as a flat array on the disk, with all the hierarchical directory information living aside from this. Thus the i-number is an index in this array, the i-node is the selected element of the array. (The "i-" notation was used in the 1st edition manual; its hyphen was gradually dropped.)
Mostly depends on the filesystem, but generally it'll be the name of the file, the kind of file it is (Regular, directory, or link.), where the file is found physically, which can be multiple values. File's size, and I believe also file permissions.
explain with help of an example, how FAT is different from inode.
ls -i
nothing really. the inode contains data about where that file exists within the directory / folder structure. so the inode is just updated with the new location. Also note that this is more or less how it works on all operating systems.
