-i <volume name or ID>
[-c <cell name>]
[-noa] [-l] [-v] [-e] [-nor] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The vos remove command removes the indicated volume from the partition on which it
resides. The Volume Location Database (VLDB) record is altered appropriately, as described
in the following paragraphs. Use this command to remove any of the three types of volumes;
the effect depends on the type.
· If the -id argument names the read/write volume (that is, specifies the volume's base
name), both it and the associated backup volume are removed from the partition that
houses them. The -server and -partition arguments are optional, because there can be
only one read/write site. When the volume is removed, the site information is also
removed from the VLDB entry. The read/write and backup volume ID numbers no longer
appear in the output from the vos listvldb or vos examine commands, but they are
preserved internally. Read-only sites, if any, are not affected, but cannot be changed
unless a read/write site is again defined. The site count reported by the vos examine
and vos listvldb commands as "number of sites" decrements by one. The entire VLDB
entry is removed if there are no read-only sites.
· If the -id argument names a read-only volume, it is removed from the partition that
houses it, and the corresponding site information is removed from the VLDB entry. The
site count reported by the vos examine and vos listvldb commands as "number of sites"
decrements by one for each volume you remove. If there is more than one read-only
site, the -server argument (and optionally -partition argument) must be used to
specify the site from which to remove the volume. If there is only one read-only site,
the -id argument is sufficient; if there is also no read/write volume in this case,
the entire VLDB entry is removed.
· If the -id argument names a backup volume, it is removed from the partition that
houses it. The -server and -partition arguments are optional, because there can be
only one backup site. The backup volume ID number no longer appears in the output from
the vos listvldb command or in the corresponding portion of the output from the vos
examine command, but is preserved internally.
This command is the most appropriate one for removing volumes in almost all cases. Other
commands that remove only volumes or only VLDB entries (such as the vos delentry, vos
remsite and vos zap commands) by definition can put the volumes and VLDB out of sync. Use
them only in the special circumstances mentioned on their reference pages. Like the vos
delentry command, this command can remove a VLDB entry when no corresponding volumes exist
on the file server machine. Like the vos zap command, this command can remove a volume
that does not have a VLDB entry, as long as the volume is online, -server and -partition
arguments are provided, and the -id argument specifies the volume's ID number.
OPTIONS
-server <server name>
Identifies the file server machine that houses the volume to remove. It is necessary
only when the -id argument names a read-only volume that exists at multiple sites.
Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully qualified or using an
unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see vos(1).
-partition <partition name>
Identifies the partition (on the file server machine specified by the -server
argument) that houses the volume to remove. Provide the partition's complete name with
preceding slash (for example, "/vicepa") or use one of the three acceptable
abbreviated forms. For details, see vos(1).
Including this argument is necessary only when the -id argument names a read-only
volume that exists at multiple sites. Provide the -server argument along with this
one.
-id <volume name or id>
Identifies the volume to remove, either by its complete name or volume ID number. If
identifying a read-only or backup volume by name, include the appropriate extension
(".readonly" or ".backup").
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the
-localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag
with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile
file. The vos command interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location
Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument
or -noauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).
-verbose
Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's execution. If
this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages appear.
-encrypt
Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted across the
network in clear text. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.11 or later
and 1.5.60 or later.
-noresolve
Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very useful when
the server address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing with multi-homed
servers. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or
later.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
EXAMPLES
The following example removes the read/write volume "user.terry" and its backup version,
if any.
% vos remove -id user.terry
The following example removes the read-only volume "root.afs.readonly" from one of its
sites, the /vicepa partition on the file server machine "fs1.abc.com".
% vos remove fs1.abc.com a root.afs.readonly
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine
specified with the -server argument and on each database server machine. If the -localauth
flag is included, the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local
superuser "root".
