From f96d2dea266760e5587356e72d1cadaace5f7d5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2005 21:36:44 +0000 Subject: * Added a flag `--ignore-liveness' to `nix-store --delete'. It deletes a path even if it is reachable from a root. However, it won't delete a path that still has referrers (since that would violate store invariants). Don't try this at home. It's a useful hack for recovering from certain situations in a somewhat clean way (e.g., holes in closures due to disk corruption). --- src/nix-store/main.cc | 11 ++++++++--- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/nix-store/main.cc') diff --git a/src/nix-store/main.cc b/src/nix-store/main.cc index 6f1fab13d..88e6720c0 100644 --- a/src/nix-store/main.cc +++ b/src/nix-store/main.cc @@ -518,7 +518,7 @@ static void opGC(Strings opFlags, Strings opArgs) PathSet result; PrintFreed freed(action == gcDeleteDead); - collectGarbage(action, PathSet(), result, freed.bytesFreed); + collectGarbage(action, PathSet(), false, result, freed.bytesFreed); if (action != gcDeleteDead) { for (PathSet::iterator i = result.begin(); i != result.end(); ++i) @@ -532,7 +532,12 @@ static void opGC(Strings opFlags, Strings opArgs) roots). */ static void opDelete(Strings opFlags, Strings opArgs) { - if (!opFlags.empty()) throw UsageError("unknown flag"); + bool ignoreLiveness; + + for (Strings::iterator i = opFlags.begin(); + i != opFlags.end(); ++i) + if (*i == "--ignore-liveness") ignoreLiveness = true; + else throw UsageError(format("unknown flag `%1%'") % *i); PathSet pathsToDelete; for (Strings::iterator i = opArgs.begin(); @@ -541,7 +546,7 @@ static void opDelete(Strings opFlags, Strings opArgs) PathSet dummy; PrintFreed freed(true); - collectGarbage(gcDeleteSpecific, pathsToDelete, + collectGarbage(gcDeleteSpecific, pathsToDelete, ignoreLiveness, dummy, freed.bytesFreed); } -- cgit v1.2.3
