Can't Get File Serial Number (st_ino) from files on sdCard/Flash

[plusorc]

Every thing that is working on C / linux system , Is working on ESP Flash

Code: Select all

struct stat st ; 
char* filePath = "/sdcard/myFile.txt"; 
stat(filePath, &st);
	

From here I can get all the usual info , Size , Name , Type of File .. except the st.st_ino
It's always zero

I even get a warning about the proper type to print at compilation and I have to cast it to unsigned long
But it's always Zero .. what am I missing ?


Thanks in advance

FAT does not have/use/store inodes. Linux can 'emulate' inode numbers when stat'ing FAT files by generating 'random' numbers on the fly, but ESPs usually don't run Linux.

Thanks for the info on both ESPs & Linux

I really Appreciate your help
