purgevol_rep(8)

NAME
purgevol_rep - delete a replicated volume

SYNOPSIS
purgevol_rep <volumename>

DESCRIPTION
purgevol_rep is a front-end to the volutil purgevol_rep command and is used to delete a replicated volume from the Coda system. purgevol_rep determines the replicated volumeIds corresponding to this volume by examining the readable version of the VRDB located in /vice/vol/VRList. It then uses the volutil utility to purge the individual replicas at the sites of replication. Next, it removes the entry for the deleted volume from the /vice/vol/VRList and builds a new VRDB. Finally, it builds a new VLDB using the bldvldb(8) script. Like the other volume utilities, purgevol_rep must be run on the SCM by root.
