NAME

       fs_flushvolume - Forces the Cache Manager to discard cached data from a volume

SYNOPSIS

       fs flushvolume [-path <dir/file path>+] [-help]

       fs flushv [-p <dir/file path>+] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The fs flushvolume command removes from the cache all data that was fetched from the same volume as each
       specified directory or file.  It does not discard cached status information. The next time an application
       requests data from a flushed directory or file, the Cache Manager fetches the most current version from a
       File Server, along with a new callback (if necessary) and associated status information. This command has
       no effect on two types of data:

       •   Data in application program buffers.

       •   Data that has been changed locally and written to the cache but not yet written to the copy on the
           file server machine.

       To discard the data and status information associated with individual files and directories, use the fs
       flush command. To flush a corrupted mount point, use the fs flushmount command.

OPTIONS

       -path <dir/file path>+
           Names a file or directory from each volume for which to discard all cached data. Partial pathnames
           are interpreted relative to the current working directory, which is also the default value if this
           argument is omitted.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       The following command flushes from the cache all data fetched from the volume that contains the current
       working directory:

          % fs flushvolume

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must have the "l" (lookup) permission on the ACL of the root directory of the volume that
       houses the file or directory named by the -path argument, and on the ACL of each directory that precedes
       it in the pathname.
