IBM General Parallel File System for AIX: Administration and Programming Reference

Deleting a file system

Before deleting a file system, unmount it on all nodes. See Unmounting a file system.

Specify the file system to be deleted on the mmdelfs command. For example, to delete the file system fs1, enter:

mmdelfs fs1
 

The system displays information similar to:

mmdelfs: 6027-1366 Marking the disks as available
GPFS: 6027-573 All data on following disks of fs1 will be destroyed:
 

    gpfslv09
    gpfslv13
    gpfslv11
    gpfslv12
 

   GPFS: 6027-574 Completed deletion of file system fs1.
mmdelfs: 6027-1371 Propagating the changes to all affected nodes.
This is an asynchronous process.
 

See the mmdelfs Command for complete usage information.
