NFSREVOKE(8)

hey bestie 💖 welcome to the NFSREVOKE(8) page from the System Manager's Manual, section 8 — yes, the manual name is folded right in here, no boring header line for us 🫶

💅 NAME 💅

nfsrevoke — revoke an NFS V4 client. that's the whole vibe ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nfsrevoke ClientId

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so nfsrevoke is the command a system administrator uses to revoke a client's access to the NFS Version 4 server. when that happens, all Open/Lock state held by the client will be released — like, the server is cleaning house 💅

after revocation, the client will no longer be able to use state on the server until it does a fresh SetClientID/SetClientIDConfirm operations sequence. that's the reset arc, bestie 🌈

🚨 THIS SHOULD BE DONE AS A LAST RESORT ONLY, when clients are holding state that must be released on the server. not me saying "just revoke everyone for fun" — absolutely not, this is the nuclear option, periodt 💀🔥

the ClientId argument is a hexadecimal string — literally the last field of the nfsdumpstate(8) command's -o and -l options output. yep, that exact one, no cap 🎀
