SYNOPSIS
| | /usr/sbin/metaclear [-s setname] -a [-f] |
| | /usr/sbin/metaclear component |
| | /usr/sbin/metaclear [-s setname] [-f] metadevice... hot_spare_pool... |

The metaclear command deletes the specified metadevice or hot_spare_pool., or purges all soft partitions from the designated component. Once
a metadevice or hot spare pool is deleted, it must be re-created using metainit before it can be used again.
Any metadevice currently in use (open) cannot be deleted.

- -h
- Displays usage message.
- -p
- Deletes (purges) all soft partitions from the specified metadevice or component.
- -r
- Recursively deletes specified metadevices and hot spare pools, but does not delete metadevices on which others depend.
