Manage file systems

This method is used to create a new file system. If the file system already exists then it will throw an exception.

Syntax

Task CreateFileSystemAsync(FileSystemDocument filesystemDocument, string newFileSystemName = null);

Example

Let's create a new file system with Versioning bundle enabled:

await store.AsyncFilesCommands.Admin
	.CreateFileSystemAsync(new FileSystemDocument
	{
		Id = "Raven/FileSystems/NorthwindFS",
		Settings =
		{
			{ Constants.FileSystem.DataDirectory, "~/FileSystems/NorthwindFS" },
			{ Constants.ActiveBundles, "Versioning" }
		}
	}, "NorthwindFS");

This method creates a new file system or updates the configuration of already existing one according to the specified document.

Task CreateOrUpdateFileSystemAsync(FileSystemDocument filesystemDocument, string newFileSystemName = null);

Instead of calling the CreateOrUpdateFileSystemAsync method, you can use this one to make sure that file system exists. If there is no such file system, it will be created with default settings.

Task EnsureFileSystemExistsAsync(string fileSystem);

Example

await store.AsyncFilesCommands.Admin
		.EnsureFileSystemExistsAsync("NorthwindFS");

This method is used to delete a file system from a server, with a possibility to remove its all data from the hard drive.

Task DeleteFileSystemAsync(string fileSystemName = null, bool hardDelete = false);

Example

The below code deletes the current file system together with its data on the hard drive:

await store.AsyncFilesCommands.Admin
		.DeleteFileSystemAsync(hardDelete: true);
