rmfset(8) System Manager's Manual rmfset(8)
NAME
rmfset - Removes a fileset or a clone fileset from an AdvFS file domain
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/rmfset [-f] domain fileset
PARAMETERS
Specifies the name of an existing AdvFS file domain. Specifies the
name of the fileset to be deleted from the specified file domain.
FLAGS
Turns off the message prompt.
DESCRIPTION
The rmfset command removes filesets (and all of its files) from an ex-
isting AdvFS file domain. Unless you use the -f option, you are
prompted with the following request before a fileset is removed: rmf-
set: remove fileset <filesetname>? [y/n]
If you answer n, the fileset is not removed. If you answer y, the
fileset is removed.
The -f flag is useful for scripts or when you do not want to be queried
about each fileset. If you choose the -f flag, no prompts are dis-
played. 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_do-
main 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 #
