lfs-rmfid - remove file by FID

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**lfs rmfid** <*directory*> <*FID1*> \[<*FID2*>...]

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This command removes file(s) specified by the *FID*.  
In some cases it is more optimal to remove files by their FIDs. The **directory** specifies a mountpoint of Lustre filesystem where given **FIDs** are stored. The mountpoint should be mounted with **user\_fid2path** mount option and the caller has to have a right to modify the given files. rmfid will be trying to remove all hardlinks of the given file. FIDs can be wrapped with square brackets.
