SUMMARY: finding a file by it's inode

The replies I received suggested to use ncheck.

Didn't seem to be any faster than the use of find.
Once disadvantage is that you can't run ncheck as
a regular user. I would be using it from an application
running a shell. Yes, I could use sudo, but I'd rather
not. As well you need to know which filesystem it
resides on, the application has files that are on
multiple filesystems.

Thanks for the suggestion
