# always

An option to always perform deactivation calls.

```
static var always: FSVolume.ItemDeactivationOptions { get }
```

## Discussion

Use this option if the file system needs `deactivateItem` calls in circumstances beyond those covered by [`forRemovedItems`](/documentation/FSKit/FSVolume/ItemDeactivationOptions/forRemovedItems) and [`forPreallocatedItems`](/documentation/FSKit/FSVolume/ItemDeactivationOptions/forPreallocatedItems).
