3 fs flushmount - Forces the Cache Manager to discard a mount point
7 fs flushmount [B<-path> I<dir/file path> [I<dir/file path> ...]] [B<-help>]
9 fs flushm [B<-p> I<dir/file path> [I<dir/file path> ...]] [B<-h>]
13 The C<fs flushmount> command removes from the cache all information
14 associated with each mount point named by the B<-path> argument. The next
15 time an application accesses the mount point, the Cache Manager
16 fetches the most current version of it from the File Server. Data
17 cached from the associated volume is not affected.
19 The command's intended use is to discard information about mount
20 points that has become corrupted in the cache. (The Cache Manager
21 periodically refreshes cached mount points, but the only other way to
22 discard them immediately is to reinitialize the Cache Manager by
23 rebooting the machine.) Symptoms of a corrupted mount point included
24 garbled output from the C<fs lsmount> command, and failed attempts to
25 change directory to or list the contents of a mount point.
27 To flush cached data rather than a mount point, use the C<fs flush> or C<fs
