Managing the AMASS File System
3-146 Command Reference 6-00028-01 Rev A
voldelete
Delete:
• All the files on a volume
• Volume number from the File System Database
Before a volume is deleted, AMASS checks to see if any files
exists on the volume and asks you to confirm their deletion. If a
file spans volumes, designated by an append record, AMASS
deletes the whole file.
Note
Before using this command, mark the volume Offline (with volloc)
and Inactive (with volstat). If the volume resides in the library, outlet
the volume (use voloutlet for SCSI-attached storage devices or
bulkoutlet for network-attached storage devices).
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.
