howto:find_the_filename_when_all_you_have_is_the_file_id

Information

There are occasions where you have a File_ID of a file, but not the name. Probably related to $ ANALYZE/DISK errors such as this one:

%ANALDISK-W-MULTALLOC, file (3224,22,0)
        multiply allocated blocks
        VBN 37225 to 37227
        LBN 6934554 to 6934556, RVN 1

So how do you determine the name of the file in question?

Procedure

Create a command procedure with the following information:

$! fid_header_dump.com
$ if p1 .eqs. "" then inquire p1 "Disk name"
$ if p1 .eqs. "" then exit
$ if p2 .eqs. "" then inquire p2 "File ID"
$ p2 = p2 - "(" - ")"
$ if p2 .eqs. "" then exit
$!
$ show symbol p1
$ p1 = p1 - ":" + ":"
$ disk = f$parse (p1,,,"device")
$ show symbol disk
$ fid = f$element (0, ",", p2)
$!
$ cluster = f$getdvi (disk, "cluster")
$ maxfil = f$getdvi (disk, "maxfiles")
$ bitmap = (maxfil + 4095) / 4096
$ skip = cluster * 4 + bitmap
$ block = skip + fid
$ dump /file_header 'disk'[000000]indexf.sys /block=(s:'block',c:1)

Example usage:

For this example, the ANALYZE/DISK command was on disk DSA2, so that is provided into the command.

$ @fid_header_dump dsa2 "(3224,22,0)"
  P1 = "DSA2"
  DISK = "DSA2:"

Dump of file DSA2:[000000]INDEXF.SYS;1 on  1-FEB-2019 11:58:20.28
File ID (1,1,0)   End of file block 471860 / Allocated 471888
