SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Obtain an inode number that is unique on the system for a given superblock. This is used by file systems that have no natural permanent inode numbering system. An inode number is returned that is higher than the reserved limit but unique.
BUGS
With a large number of inodes live on the file system this function currently becomes quite slow.
