Managing the AMASS File System
3-132 Command Reference 6-00028-01 Rev A
volclean
Delete:
All the files on a volume, but not the volume number from
the File System Database.
Prerequisites
Prior to using this command, make sure the volume is in its
home storage slot. The volume must be Online (volloc -n),
readable, writable, and Inactive (volstat -i).
If AMASS determines files exist on this volume, it prompts you
to confirm their deletion. If a file is appended—spans—to
another volume, AMASS deletes the entire file.
After volclean completes, make the volume available for
reuse by using the volformat command.
Note
This command is not valid for volumes in the space pool or in the
cleaning group.
Note
If you create a zero length file within an AMASS directory, ex.
"touch filename", the file is not associated with a volume or volume
group. This command will ignore such files. However, a zero length
file, i.e. a non-zero length file that was written to tape and then
truncated to zero length, will be recognized.
