acfsutil detach

Purpose

Prepares the Oracle ACFS driver for module unload.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil detach

acfsutil detach prepares Oracle ACFS for having its driver unloaded. Oracle ACFS registers itself as a base file system upon driver load. In order for the Windows service control manager to send a stop command to the driver, Oracle ACFS must unregister itself as a base file system in addition to deleting any device objects associated with the driver.

After acfsutil detach has completed successfully, and all volumes have been dismounted, then the administrator can run the Windows service control manager's stop command to the Oracle ACFS driver. If the acfsutil detach command is not used, then the stop command does not call the Oracle ACFS driver unload routine. This command can only be run by the Windows Administrator. It is called automatically by the Oracle ACFS shutdown scripts.

Examples

The following examples show how to detach all Oracle ACFS file systems and unload drivers on Windows. The first example dismounts all the Oracle ACFS file systems volume devices. The second example detaches the volume devices.
