clri Command clri Clear i-node /etc/clri filesystem inumber ... clri zeroes out each i-node with a given inumber on filesystem. filesystem is almost always a device-special file that cor- responds to a disk device. The raw device should be used. The user must have read and write permission on the filesystem. If the inumber corresponds to an open file, the clri has a very high probability of being ineffective: the system maintains in core memory a copy of all active i-nodes, and this copy will eventually be written out to disk, undoing the effects of clri. To counter this problem, unmount the file system before running clri. If the i-node is for the root file system, you must reboot the system immediately after running clri. ***** See Also ***** commands, dcheck, fsck, icheck, i-node, umount COHERENT Lexicon Page 1
