LFS-RMFID(1)

📦 version 2.17.58, in ubuntu stonking

💖 NAME 💖

lfs-rmfid — yeet a file by its FID, bestie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lfs rmfid <directory> <FID1> [<FID2>...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: this command removes file(s) specified by the FID. Simple as. 🙈

Sometimes it's just more optimal to remove files by their FIDs instead of, like, hunting them down the normal way. So that's the whole vibe here.

The <directory> is the mountpoint of the Lustre filesystem where given FIDs are stored. That's where the magic happens, no cap. 🫶

⚠️ Bestie, listen — the mountpoint should be mounted with the user_fid2path mount option, and the caller has to have a right to modify the given files. No permission, no party. Periodt. 💀

Also, very important, rmfid will be trying to remove all hardlinks of the given file. All of them. Not just one. The whole friend group. 👑

And plot twist — FIDs can be wrapped with square brackets. Cute, optional, iconic. ✨

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

lfs rmfid /mnt/lustre [0x200000400:0x1:0x0] [0x200000402:0x20:0x0]

Remove files with FIDs [0x200000400:0x1:0x0] [0x200000402:0x20:0x0]

Look at her go. Ate. 🔥
