.SH NAME
fs_checkvolumes \- Forces the Cache Manager to update volume information
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBfs checkvolumes\fR [\fB\-help\fR]
.PP
\&\fBfs checkv\fR [\fB\-h\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBfs checkvolumes\fR command discards the table of mappings between
volume names and volume ID numbers that the Cache Manager stores in memory
and uses when fetching data from volumes. The next time an application
requests AFS data, the Cache Manager must contact the Volume Location (VL)
Server for volume location information, and then an appropriate file
server machine for the actual data.
.PP
The Cache Manager updates the table of mappings periodically (by default,
hourly), but this command is useful if the issuer knows that a volume's
name has changed, or that new read-only replicas of a volume have been
released, because issuing it forces the Cache Manager to reference the
changed volume.
