Storage Medium Operations

Managing the Space of a Storage Medium

When some space of a storage medium becomes inaccessible due to abnormal operations for example,
you can use the fixdisk command to restore the space of the storage medium. The execution of the
format command will format the storage medium, and all the data on the storage medium will be
deleted.
Use the following commands to manage the storage medium space:
To do...
Restore the space of a storage
medium
Format a storage medium
When you format a storage medium, all the files stored on it are erased and cannot be restored. In
particular, if there is a startup configuration file on the storage medium, formatting the storage
medium results in loss of the startup configuration file.
You can execute the fixdisk command for a storage medium on the active main board (AMB), but
you cannot execute the command for a storage medium on the SMB (distributed device).

Mounting/Unmounting a Storage Medium

For a hot swappable storage medium (excluding flash), such as CF card, you can use the mount and
umount command to mount or unmount it. When a storage medium is connected to a lower version
system, the system cannot recognize the storage medium. To perform read and write operations to the
storage medium, you must mount it.
