pvfs2-remove-object - Man Page

pvfs2-remove-object [-hv] [-f fs_id] [-o handle] [-p handle -d entry_name]

The pvfs2-remove-object removes an object from an OrangeFS volume by handle number.  This would be used to repair a corrupt file system.  Improper use of this utility could corrupt a file system.

The -p and -d options must be used together to remove a directory entry.

The options are as follows:

-h

Display synopsis.

-v

Print version number and exit.

-f

Use fs_id as file system ID.

-o

Remove the handle handle.

-p

Specify the parent handle handle.

-p

Specify the dirent name entry_name.

PVFS2_DEBUGFILE

If set to the path of a local file, redirect debug output to it.

PVFS2_DEBUGMASK

Set the OrangeFS debug mask.  Possible masks are documented in pvfs2-set-debugmask(1).

PVFS2TAB_FILE

If set, the full pathname for an alternate pvfs2tab file

/etc/pvfs2tab

Copy the file /etc/motd to /mnt/bar. If /mnt is an OrangeFS volume, this will copy the file into OrangeFS.

When dst_file is a directory the utility does not work.  In this respect it is different than the cp(1) utility.
