squeeze Command

Note
OL-11496-01
The squeeze command permanently removes deleted files from flash memory and
makes all other (undeleted) files contiguous to conserve storage space.
To permanently remove deleted files from a flash memory directory, but leave the
other files intact, enter the squeeze device-name command.
Where device-name can be slot0:, slot1:, or bootflash:.
•

In this example the character:
e in the last line indicates that the flash memory area is erased. This erase
•
operation must be accomplished before any write operation to the flash
memory area can begin.
b indicates that the data about to be written to the flash memory area has been
•
temporarily copied.
E indicates that the sector temporarily occupied by the data is erased.
•
S indicates that the data is written to its permanent location in flash memory.
•
Z indicates that the log is erased following the successful squeeze operation.
•
To prevent loss of data from a sudden power loss, the "squeezed" data is
temporarily saved to another flash memory area reserved specifically for system
use.
During a squeeze operation, the system maintains a log of executed squeeze
functions, so that the system can return to the proper place and continue the
operation in the event of a power failure.
