11.8.3 Deleting the file system

To delete a file system that is not being used in the GFS Shared File System, use sfcadm(1M) with the -D option specified. Execute the command on any one of the nodes where the file system is shared.

For details on the sfcadm(1M) options, see sfcadm(1M).

How to delete a file system using sfcadm(1M) is shown below.

1. Check the current file system information.

# sfcinfo -a <Enter>
/dev/sfdsk/gfs01/dsk/volume01:
FSID special                                      size  Type  mount
   1 /dev/sfdsk/gfs01/dsk/volume01(11500000021)      14422  META  -----
   1 /dev/sfdsk/gfs01/dsk/volume01(11500000021)       5116  LOG   -----
   1 /dev/sfdsk/gfs01/dsk/volume01(11500000021)      95112  DATA  -----
/dev/sfdsk/gfs02/dsk/volume01:
FSID special                                      size  Type  mount
   2 /dev/sfdsk/gfs02/dsk/volume01(11500000022)      14422  META  -----
   2 /dev/sfdsk/gfs02/dsk/volume01(11500000022)       5116  LOG   -----
   2 /dev/sfdsk/gfs02/dsk/volume01(11500000022)      95112  DATA  -----

2. Delete the file system whose representative partition is /dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/volume01.

# sfcadm -D /dev/sfdsk/gfs02/rdsk/volume01 <Enter>

3. Confirm that the file system has been deleted.

# sfcinfo -a <Enter>
/dev/sfdsk/gfs01/dsk/volume01:
FSID special                                      size  Type  mount
   1 /dev/sfdsk/gfs01/dsk/volume01(11500000021)      14422  META  -----
   1 /dev/sfdsk/gfs01/dsk/volume01(11500000021)       5116  LOG   -----
