Don't forget that your file system may not always be cleanly unmounted,
so you may want to record the living dead inode somewhere before
unlinking it. Then check the list of zombie inodes at mount, and check
to see if it has any links. I'm not sure what the best course of action
is, but I would imagine that you then remove the link and actually
delete the inode, as you can guarantee nobody has it open.
