| You can manage your disk stores using the gfsh command-line tool. For more information on `gfsh` commands, see [gfsh](../../tools_modules/gfsh/chapter_overview.html) and [Disk Store Commands](../../tools_modules/gfsh/quick_ref_commands_by_area.html#topic_1ACC91B493EE446E89EC7DBFBBAE00EA). |
| |
| **Note:** |
| Each of these commands operates either on the online disk stores or offline disk stores, but not both. |

| |
| For online operations, `gfsh` must be connected to a cluster via a JMX manager and sends the operation requests to the members that have disk stores. These commands will not run on offline disk stores. |

| |
| For offline operations, `gfsh` runs the command against the specified disk store and its specified directories. You must specify all directories for the disk store. For example: |
| |
| ``` pre |
| gfsh>compact offline-disk-store --name=mydiskstore --disk-dirs=MyDirs |
| ``` |
| |
| Offline operations will not run on online disk stores. The tool locks the disk store while it is running, so the member cannot start in the middle of an operation. |
| |
| If you try to run an offline command for an online disk store, you get a message like this: |
| |
| ``` pre |
| gfsh>compact offline-disk-store --name=DEFAULT --disk-dirs=s1 |
| This disk store is in use by another process. "compact disk-store" can |
| be used to compact a disk store that is currently in use. |
| ``` |
