File remove command?

[Tom Christiansen]

>From the keyboard of doug at jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU (Douglas W O'neal):
:How about 
:find / -inum `ls -i foo | awk '{print $1}' -` -exec rm -f {} \; -print

Remember inumbers are unique to the file system.  You don't know that foo
is on the root file system.  This way you'll unnecessarily traverse the
whole file.  I might do this, at least on my system:

(assume $file is the name of the file, and valid)

find `df $file | awk 'NR ==2 {print $6}'` 	\
	-xdev 					\
	-inum `ls -i $file | awk '{print $1}'`	\
	-exec /bin/rm {} \;  			\
	-print
