NAME
clri
- clear an inode
SYNOPSIS
clri
special_device inode_number ...
DESCRIPTION
Bf -symbolic
Clri
is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by
fsck(8).
Ef
Clri
zeros out the inodes with the specified inode number(s)
on the filesystem residing on the given
special_device
The
fsck(8)
utility is usually run after
clri
to reclaim the zero'ed inode(s) and the
blocks previously claimed by those inode(s).
Both read and write permission are required on the specified
special_device
The primary purpose of this routine
is to remove a file which
for some reason is not being properly handled by
fsck(8).
Once removed,
it is anticipated that
fsck(8)
will be able to clean up the resulting mess.
SEE ALSO
fsck(8),
fsdb(8),
icheck(8),
ncheck(8)
BUGS
If the file is open, the work of
clri
will be lost when the inode is written back to disk from the inode cache.
