1.1.4 Storage Device Operations
I. Naming rules
Naming rules of the storage devices are as follows:
z If there is only one storage device of the same type on the device, the physical
device name of the storage device is the storage device name. For example, for a
device with only one CF card, the physical device name of the CF card is cf.
z If there are multiple storage devices with the same type on the device, the physical
device name of the storage device is composed of the storage device type and the
serial number of the storage device. The serial number is displayed in English
letters such as a, b or c. For example, for a device with multiple CF cards, the
physical device name of the first CF card is cfa, and that of the second is cfb, and
so on.
II. Memory space management
You can use the fixdisk command to restore the space of a storage device or the
format command to format a specified storage device as shown in the following table:
To do… Use the command… Remarks

You may use the two commands when some space of a storage device becomes
inaccessible due to abnormal operations for example.
Caution:
When you format a storage device, all the files stored on it are erased and cannot be
restored. In particular, if there is a startup configuration file on the storage device,
formatting the storage device results in loss of the startup configuration file.
III. Mounting/unmounting a storage device
For hot swappable storage devices, such as CF card (excluding Flash), you can use
the mount and umount command to mount or unmount the storage device.
