✨ FSSYNC-DEBUG_VGCDEL ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the AFS Command Reference, and it's all about fssync-debug_vgcdel — the manual is section 8, iykyk 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

fssync-debug_vgcdel — delete an entry from the VG cache (that's the FSYNC_VG_UPDATE opcode, no cap) 🗑️✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fssync-debug vgcdel
    -partition <exact partition name>
    -parent <volume ID>
    -child <volume ID>
    [-reason <sync protocol reason code>]
    [-programtype <program type code>]
    [-help]

fssync-debug vgcd
    -part <exact partition name>
    -pare <volume ID>
    -c <volume ID>
    [-r <sync protocol reason code>]
    [-pr <program type code>]
    [-h]

like yes, there's a long form and a short form, and they are literally the same command wearing different outfits 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The fssync-debug vgcdel command deletes an entry from the volume group cache (VGC). that's it, that's the whole vibe — one entry, gone, bye 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -partition <exact partition name> — tells it the exact partition name (think /vicepa). abbreviations are NOT permitted, so spell it all the way out, bestie 😭
  • -parent <volume ID> — the numeric volume ID of the parent volume of the VGC entry.
  • -child <volume ID> — the numeric volume ID of the child volume in the VGC entry you're about to delete.
  • -reason <sync protocol reason code> — the numeric sync protocol reason code. the available codes are listed in the OpenAFS source file src/vol/fssync_inline.h. and for SYNC_REASON_NONE, you use -reason 0 ⭐
  • -programtype <program type code> — the program type code. the permitted values are fileServer, volumeUtility, salvager, salvageServer, volumeServer and volumeSalvager. pick one, any one (of those six) 💜
  • -help — prints the online help for this command. all other valid options are ignored when you do this, so don't come crying when your other flags get ghosted 🙈

👑 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED 👑

whoever runs this must have write access to the file server. usually that means you have to be the local superuser root on the file server machine — so like, main character energy only, sorry 🌈
