clri8
Clear inodes
Usage
clri special_device
inode_number ...
Overview
clri is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by fsck(8).
clri zeros out the inodes with the specified inode numbers on the filesystem residing on the given special_device. The fsck(8) utility is usually run after clri to reclaim the zero'ed inodes and the blocks previously claimed by those inodes. Both read and write permission are required on the specified special_device.
The primary purpose of this routine is to remove a file which for some reason is not being properly handled by fsck(8). Once removed, it is anticipated that fsck(8) will be able to clean up the resulting mess.
