You need to find all the files with same inode. You can do
that with find, but that is expensive.
Three years ago Yaroslav Halchenko reported that he had modified
the linux locate tool to also save the inode in its database.
That allows very fast lookups via inode (after the fixed overhead
of crawling the tree to update the locate db). He posted his
scripts here:
