Command
weka fs deleteUse the following command line to delete a filesystem:
weka fs delete <name> [--purge-from-obs]
Parameters
| Name | Type | Value | Limitations | Mandatory | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | String | Name of the filesystem to be deleted | Must be a valid name | Yes | |
| purge-from-obs | Boolean | For a tiered filesystem, if set, all filesystem data is deleted from the object store bucket. | No | False |
Note: Using purge-from-obs will remove all data from the object-store. This includes any backup data or snapshots created from this filesystem (if this filesystem has been downloaded from a snapshot of a different filesystem, it will leave the original snapshot data intact).
- If any of the removed snapshots have been (or are) downloaded and used by a different filesystem, that filesystem will stop functioning correctly, data might be unavailable and errors might occur when accessing the data.
It is possible to either un-tier or migrate such a filesystem to a different object store bucket before deleting the snapshots it has downloaded.
