PVFS2-RM(1)

💖 PVFS2-RM 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the pvfs2-rm page from the General Commands Manual — this is the OrangeFS girlie whose whole job is deleting files. she's serving removal, she's serving cleanup, and she's about to be your new fave. 🗑️✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

pvfs2-rm — remove files 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pvfs2-rm [-rf] pvfs2_filename[s]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The pvfs2-rm utility deletes files in an OrangeFS volume. that's it, that's the vibe. no cap. 💖

The options are as follows, and yes you're gonna read all of them, there's literally only two:

• -r — Recursively delete all files in a directory tree. it's giving "and everyone she brought with her." 🌈
• -f — Force deletion even if the current user does not own the file. main character energy: she does NOT care whose name is on it. 👑

---

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

• PVFS2_DEBUGFILE — If set to the path of a local file, redirect debug output to it. all the tea gets spilled into that file instead of your screen. 🫖
• PVFS2_DEBUGMASK — Set the OrangeFS debug mask. Possible masks are documented in pvfs2-set-debugmask(1). go read her page, she's iconic too. 💜
• PVFS2TAB_FILE — If set, the full pathname for an alternate pvfs2tab file. a whole different tab file?? obsessed. 🙈

---

🧚 FILES 🧚

• /etc/pvfs2tab

---

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

Remove the file /mnt/foo. bye girl 👋

pvfs2-rm /mnt/foo

Remove the directory /mnt/foo and all files and directories within it. okay so this one is the full send-off, everything inside goes too 💀

pvfs2-rm -r /mnt/foo
