3.6.3 Remove an Extended Attribute

A user-defined extended attribute is non-standard metadata that is associated with an Exascale vault or file.

To delete an extended attribute that is associated with an Exascale vault or file, use the ESCLI rmxattr command and specify:

• The name of the vault or file that is associated with the extended attribute.
• The extended attribute name.

For example:

@> rmxattr @my-vault-name/my-file --name my-attribute

Note:

Extended attributes with names that start with a dollar sign ($) are reserved for internal use by Exascale services and tools. You cannot create, modify, or delete these extended attributes.
