acfsutil encr off

Purpose

Disables encryption for an Oracle ACFS file system, directories, or individual files.

acfsutil encr off -m mount_point [[-r] path [ path ...]]

acfsutil encr off -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-81 contains the options available with the acfsutil encr off command.

Table 16-80 Options for the acfsutil encr off command

Option	Description
`-m` `mount_point`	Specifies the directory where the file system is mounted.
`-r`	Specifies to disable encryption recursively under an existing directory identified by `path`.
`path`	Specifies the absolute or relative path of a directory. Multiple path values are allowed.

This command cannot be run on security realm-protected files.

Only an administrator can run this command on an Oracle ACFS file system (-m option without a path specified). When the -m option is specified without a path, all the files under the mount point are decrypted.

The path option can specify a path to a file or directory in a read-write snapshot. If the -r option is specified with the command on the root directory, the command does not transverse the snapshots under the .ACFS directory. If a decryption operation is specified at the file system level, then the operation does not process files and directories of snapshots in the .ACFS/snaps/ directory.

Only a user with root or system administrator privileges can run this command to disable encryption on a file system. The file owner can also run this command to disable encryption on a directory or file.
