.SH NAME
fs_flushvolume \- Forces the Cache Manager to discard cached data from a volume
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBfs flushvolume\fR [\fB\-path\fR\ <\fIdir/file\ path\fR>+] [\fB\-help\fR]
.PP
\&\fBfs flushv\fR [\fB\-p\fR\ <\fIdir/file\ path\fR>+] [\fB\-h\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBfs flushvolume\fR 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:
.IP \(bu 4
Data in application program buffers.
.IP \(bu 4
Data that has been changed locally and written to the cache but not yet
written to the copy on the file server machine.
.PP
To discard the data and status information associated with individual
files and directories, use the \fBfs flush\fR command. To flush a corrupted
mount point, use the \fBfs flushmount\fR command.
.SH OPTIONS
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-path\fR <\fIdir/file path\fR>+" 4
.IX Item "-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.
.IP \fB\-help\fR 4
.IX Item "-help"
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.
.SH EXAMPLES
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
The following command flushes from the cache all data fetched from the
volume that contains the current working directory:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&   % fs flushvolume
.Ve
.SH "PRIVILEGE REQUIRED"
.IX Header "PRIVILEGE REQUIRED"
The issuer must have the \f(CW\*(C`l\*(C'\fR (lookup) permission on the ACL of the root
directory of the volume that houses the file or directory named by the
\&\fB\-path\fR argument, and on the ACL of each directory that precedes it in
the pathname.
