Partitioning a CF card
A CF card can be divided into several different logical devices, or, partitions. Operations on a partition
do not affect the other partitions.
The following partitioning modes are available for CF cards:
• Simple—You specify the number of partitions, and the system divides the CF card into the specified
number of partitions of the same size.
• Interactive—You specify the number of partitions and the size of each partition as prompted and
the system partitions the CF card according to your input. Each partition must be 32 MB at least.
Restrictions and guidelines
It is normal that the configured partition size and the actual partition size have an error less than 5% of
the total memory.
Before partitioning a CF card:
• Back up the files in the storage medium. The partition operation clears all data in the medium.
After partitioning a CF card:
• Reconfigure paths of application files to include the correct partition information.
• If the device starts up from the CF card, put the startup system software image file and the
configuration file in the first partition of the CF card.
• To guarantee the startup system software image and configuration files sufficient storage space, set
the path for log files to a partition other than the first partition. By default, the system automatically
saves log files to the second partition. If the path does not exist, use the info-center logfile
switch-directory command to change the path to avoid log loss. For more information about this
command, see System Management and Maintenance Command Reference..
• To avoid file system corruption, unmount all the partitions before removing a storage medium.
