.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar special_device inode_number ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Bf -symbolic
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by
|
|
.Xr fsck 8 .
|
|
.Ef
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
zeros out the inodes with the specified inode number(s)
|
|
on the filesystem residing on the given
|
|
.Ar special_device .
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr fsck 8
|
|
utility is usually run after
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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
|
|
.Ar special_device .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The primary purpose of this routine
|
|
is to remove a file which
|
|
for some reason is not being properly handled by
|
|
.Xr fsck 8 .
|
|
Once removed,
|
|
it is anticipated that
|
|
.Xr fsck 8
|
|
will be able to clean up the resulting mess.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr fsck 8 ,
|
|
.Xr fsdb 8
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
If the file is open, the work of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will be lost when the inode is written back to disk from the inode cache.
