1 You need to export the Mtree via NFS/CIFS and then you need to mount it in the mentioned server .

Note : Export should be have root access

2 You can access the share and delete the files or directory which you wanted to

3 All the deleted objects will be wiped out in the next cleaning cycle and space will be accumulated after that .

To remove mtree you must first delete the associated shares nfs or cifs.

To check if there are active share can use the command "nfs show active"

ex.

path

client

--------------------------- -----------

/data/col1/backup-fxxxxxo 10.90.18.73

/data/col1/backup-fxxxxxo 10.90.18.71

/data/col1/backup-fxxxxxo 10.90.18.66

--------------------------- ----------

if there are active connections you must first remove the fs on the server and then delete mtree
