It is a rather simple matter, be logged on the system as root access
and use the following command:

ncheck -i 1993
It will search the filesystem for any file(s) attached to inode 1993 and
give you the file name.  I could be something like a core file, or some
type of log file.  It could be something major also, so it is best to
check it out first.
