Partitioning a CF card or USB disk
A CF card or USB disk can be divided into logical devices called partitions. Operations on one partition
do not affect the other partitions.
Restrictions and guidelines
A partition must have a minimum of 32 MB of storage space.
The actual partition size and the specified partition size might have a difference of less than 5% of the
storage medium's total size.
Before partitioning a CF card or USB disk, perform the following tasks:
Back up the files in the storage medium. The partition operation clears all data on the medium.
•
•
Make sure no other users are accessing the medium.
Make sure the USB disk is not write protected. If the USB disk is write protected, the partition
•
operation will fail, and you must remount or reinstall the disk to restore access to the USB disk.
After partitioning a CF card or USB disk, perform the following tasks:
Reconfigure paths of application files to include the correct partition information.
•
For the device to start up from the CF card, you must save the startup image files and the
•
configuration file on the first partition of the CF card.
•
To make sure the first partition has sufficient storage space for software image and configuration
files, set the log file path to a different partition. By default, the system automatically saves log files
to the second partition. If the path does not exist, use the info-center logfile directory command to
change the path to avoid log loss. For more information about this command, see Network
Management and Monitoring Command Reference.
