thanks. that works.

however, this system is fairly new, and part of the design yeilds
a million billion hard links to files on the partition. in other
words we do frequent rsync hardlink snapshots on the partition
with a lot of files. Soon, the find command will take a long time.

I expect the answer is no, but any thoughts on a more direct
alternative (short of find prune path backup) to using find to
discover the file? eg shouldn't we be able to use stat to look up
the file attributes, like name and path, from the inode?
