Deleting a Fileset
Any other errors occurring during writes to the new catalog files cause FSCK to
issue an error message and terminate.
•
Any error other than Guardian File Management Error 1 (reaching an end of file)
on FSCK’s inode swap file, FSCK issues an error message and terminates.
•
An inconsistency in its internal data structures, it issues an error message and
terminates.
If the FSCK run fails, the fileset that FSCK is checking enters the UNKNOWN state
rather than the STOPPED state. If this happens, check the FSCK log file (described
under FSCK Log File on page 5-25). If FSCK failed before writing anything to this file,
the file is probably full. Either rename the file or copy it to another volume, then purge
the original file.
Deleting a Fileset
If your site uses the OSSREMOV utility, that utility deletes all filesets. See
OSSREMOV Utility on page C-17 for more information.
To delete a single fileset:
1. Determine whether the fileset is mounted by using the SCF STATUS FILESET
Command.
2. If the fileset is mounted, stop the fileset by using the procedure described under
Stopping (Unmounting) a Fileset on page 5-13.
3. Determine the device identifier of the fileset with the SCF INFO FILESET
Command.
4. Determine whether you have a current backup of the files in the fileset. If not,
create a backup of those files using a procedure described under Backing Up and
Restoring OSS Files on page 6-11.
5. Delete the fileset with the SCF DELETE FILESET Command.
All files in the fileset and the fileset catalog are deleted by this procedure. Any OSS
files on a disk volume that was once part of this fileset are also deleted, even though
the disk volume no longer appears in the storage-pool file for the fileset and is not part
of the creation pool.
Renaming a Fileset
A super-group user (255, nnn) can rename a running fileset, and the new name takes
effect immediately. To rename a fileset, use the SCF RENAME FILESET Command.
The new fileset name must begin with a letter and must consist of letters and numeric
characters.
OSS fileset names can be 1 to 32 characters long, and they are case-sensitive. You
are not allowed to use the name of a fileset that already exists.
