  8. .SH DESCRIPTION
  9. The
  10. .I aoe-flush
  11. command tells the aoe driver to remove devices from the system and
  12. forget about them. Normally the aoe driver will remember all devices it has
  13. seen until the module is unloaded. By default,
  14. .I aoe-flush
  15. will only flush
  16. downed devices. With the \fB-a\fP flag all devices are candidates for removal.
  17. .PP
  18. .I aoe-flush
  19. will not remove devices that are in use. This includes devices in the
  20. closewait state or those in the process of being installed.
  21. .SH OPTIONS
