.SH SYNOPSIS
.SY "lctl lcfg_clear"
.IR FSNAME | TARGET
.YS
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B lcfg_clear
(alias
.BR clear_conf )
is run on the MGS node, with the MGS device mounted with the
.B -o nosvc,noclient
flags. It cleans up any records marked
.I SKIP
from the configuration files stored in the
.I CONFIGS/
directory. If a specific
.I TARGET
name is given, then the logs for that target (e.g.
.IR testfs-MDT0000 )
are processed. Otherwise, if a filesystem
.I FSNAME
is given, then all configuration files for that are cleared.
The previous configuration log is backed up on the MGS disk with the suffix
.IR 'config.timestamp.bak' ,
such as
.IR 'testfs-MDT0000.1476454535.bak' .
