An inode is a 256-byte block on the disk and stores data about the files.
This includes:
the file's size
user IDs of the file's user and group owners
the file access permissions
three timestamps specifying the time and date that the file was last accessed, last
modified, and the data in the inode was last modified.
The inode also contains data that points to the location of the file's data on the hard
drive.
