rmfset(8)
NAME
  rmfset - Removes a fileset or a clone fileset from an AdvFS file domain

SYNOPSIS
  /sbin/rmfset [-f] domain fileset

PARAMETERS
  domain
      Specifies the name of an existing AdvFS file domain.

  fileset
      Specifies the name of the fileset to be deleted from the specified file
      domain.

FLAGS
  -f  Turns off the message prompt.

DESCRIPTION
  The rmfset command removes filesets (and all of its files) from an existing
  AdvFS file domain.  Unless you use the -f option, you are prompted with the
  following request before a fileset is removed:

       rmfset: remove fileset <filesetname>? [y/n]

  If you answer n, the fileset is not removed.	If you answer y, the fileset
  is removed.

  The -f flag is useful for scripts or when you do not want to be queried
  about each fileset.  If you choose the -f flag, no prompts are displayed.
  The rmfset command operates as if you responded yes to the prompt.

  Unmount a fileset before removing it with the rmfset command.

RESTRICTIONS
  A fileset or clone fileset cannot be removed with this command if it is
  mounted.

  A fileset that has a clone fileset cannot be removed with this command
  until the clone fileset has been removed.

  You must be the root user to use this command.  An rmfset operation can
  hang if you attempt to remove a fileset and the target AdvFS domain is
  experiencing heavy I/O.  To work around the restriction, avoid using the
  utility on busy AdvFS domains.



EXAMPLES
  The following example deletes the test_fset fileset from the test_domain
  file domain.	In this example, the test_fset fileset is mounted on the
  /mnt3 directory:

       # umount /mnt3
       # rmfset test_domain test_fset
       # rmfset: remove fileset test_fset? [y/n] y
       #
