NAME

rmfset - Removes a fileset or a clone fileset from an AdvFS file domain  

SYNOPSIS

/sbin/rmfset [-f] domain fileset


 

OPTIONS

Turns off the message prompt.
 

OPERANDS

Specifies the name of an existing AdvFS file domain. Specifies the name of the fileset to be deleted from the specified file domain.
 

DESCRIPTION

The rmfset command removes filesets (and all of its files) from an existing AdvFS file domain. Unless you use the -f option, you are prompted with the following request before a fileset is removed: rmfset: remove fileset <filesetname>? [y/n]

If you answer n, the fileset is not removed. If you answer y, the fileset is removed.

The -f option is useful for scripts or when you do not want to be queried about each fileset. If you choose the -f option, no prompts are displayed. The rmfset command operates as if you responded yes to the prompt.

Unmount a fileset before removing it with the rmfset command.
 

RESTRICTIONS

A fileset or clone fileset cannot be removed with this command if it is mounted.

A fileset that has a clone fileset cannot be removed with this command until the clone fileset has been removed.

You must be the root user to use this command. An rmfset operation can hang if you attempt to remove a fileset and the target AdvFS domain is experiencing heavy I/O. To work around the restriction, avoid using the utility on busy AdvFS domains.
 

EXAMPLES

The following example deletes the test_fset fileset from the test_domain file domain. In this example, the test_fset fileset is mounted on the /mnt3 directory: # umount /mnt3 # rmfset test_domain test_fset # rmfset: remove fileset test_fset? [y/n] y #
