Now, let's use the mv command to rename "copiedme" to "movedme". The inode number will remain the same; however, the filename that points to the inode will change.

$ mv copiedme movedme
$ ls -i movedme
  648284 movedme

A moved file's inode number will remain the same as long as the destination file resides on the same filesystem as the source file. We'll take a closer look at filesystems in Part 3 of this tutorial series.
