CAUTION
Do not add or remove a flash card while a file operation involving the flash card’s slot is in
progress. Doing so can result in corruption of the flash card. If this occurs, you may need to
reformat the flash card to make it usable again. Reformatting the card erases all data stored on
the card.
Management focus
The management focus determines the default file system (flash memory or the flash card inserted
in slot 1 or 2) to which a file management operation applies. When you power on or reload a BigIron
RX Series system, by default, the management focus is on flash memory.
You can change the current management focus from flash memory to a slot and subdirectory using
the cd or chdir command. (For more information about these commands, refer to
To determine the slot and subdirectory that have the current management focus, enter the pwd
command. (For more information about this command, refer to
Most file management commands provide the option of specifying the file system to which the
command applies. If you want the command to apply to the file system that has the current
management focus, you do not need to specify the file system. If you want the operation to apply to
the file system that does not have the current management focus, you must specify one of the
following keywords:
•
flash – indicates flash memory
•
slot1 – indicates the flash card inserted in slot 1
•
slot2 – indicates the flash card inserted in slot 2
