You mean *A* full path name.

% cd /tmp
% mkdir a b
% touch a/foo   
% ln a/foo b/bar
% ls -li a/foo b/bar
 113549 -rw-r--r--    2 valdis   valdis          0 Jul 24 13:08 a/foo
 113549 -rw-r--r--    2 valdis   valdis          0 Jul 24 13:08 b/bar

What does a lookup of inode 113549 return? /tmp/a/foo, or /tmp/b/bar?
