FS_FLUSHMOUNT(1) AFS Command Reference FS_FLUSHMOUNT(1) NAME
fs_flushmount - Forces the Cache Manager to discard a mount point SYNOPSIS
fs flushmount [-path <dir/file path>+] [-help] fs flushm [-p <dir/file path>+] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The fs flushmount command removes from the cache all information associated with each mount point named by the -path argument. The next time an application accesses the mount point, the Cache Manager fetches the most current version of it from the File Server. Data cached from the associated volume is not affected. The command's intended use is to discard information about mount points that has become corrupted in the cache. (The Cache Manager periodically refreshes cached mount points, but the only other way to discard them immediately is to reinitialize the Cache Manager by rebooting the machine.) Symptoms of a corrupted mount point included garbled output from the fs lsmount command, and failed attempts to change directory to or list the contents of a mount point. To flush cached data rather than a mount point, use the fs flush or fs flushvolume command. OPTIONS
-path <dir/file path>+ Names each mount point to flush from the cache. Partial pathnames are interpreted relative to the current working directory, which is also the default value if this argument is omitted. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. EXAMPLES
The following command flushes from the cache the mount point for user "pat"'s home directory: % fs flushm /afs/abc.com/usr/pat PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must have the "l" (lookup) permission on the ACL of the root directory of the volume that houses the file or directory named by the -path argument, and on the ACL of each directory that precedes it in the pathname. SEE ALSO

FS_FLUSHVOLUME(1) AFS Command Reference FS_FLUSHVOLUME(1) NAME
fs_flushvolume - Forces the Cache Manager to discard cached data from a volume SYNOPSIS
fs flushvolume [-path <dir/file path>+] [-help] fs flushv [-p <dir/file path>+] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The fs flushvolume command removes from the cache all data that was fetched from the same volume as each specified directory or file. It does not discard cached status information. The next time an application requests data from a flushed directory or file, the Cache Manager fetches the most current version from a File Server, along with a new callback (if necessary) and associated status information. This command has no effect on two types of data: o Data in application program buffers. o Data that has been changed locally and written to the cache but not yet written to the copy on the file server machine. To discard the data and status information associated with individual files and directories, use the fs flush command. To flush a corrupted mount point, use the fs flushmount command. OPTIONS
-path <dir/file path>+ Names a file or directory from each volume for which to discard all cached data. Partial pathnames are interpreted relative to the current working directory, which is also the default value if this argument is omitted. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. EXAMPLES
The following command flushes from the cache all data fetched from the volume that contains the current working directory: % fs flushvolume PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must have the "l" (lookup) permission on the ACL of the root directory of the volume that houses the file or directory named by the -path argument, and on the ACL of each directory that precedes it in the pathname. SEE ALSO
