Note

As a result of using killdaemons, the system administrator may notice that flag states (flags, such as A=active, C=volcomped, I=inactive, K=reserved, O=offline, Q=quick formatted, U=unformatted) may be affected. For example, a volume might show a flag state of both “Q” and “U” (formatted and unformatted).

To display the correct flags, you must rerun the AMASS administrative command that manipulates the flag, for example, rerun the volformat command. Internal ADIC testing has found this to affect the volformat, volinlet, and voloutlet commands.

Example

To run killdaemons, perform the following steps:

Step 1. Log in as root.

# su root
