Flash memory and PCMCIA flash card file management commands
2
The software attempts to create a subdirectory in the file system that has the current management
focus. By default, flash memory has the management focus. However, you do not need to change
the focus to create a subdirectory in a file system that does not currently have management focus.
In this case, you can specify the slot1 or slot2 keyword with the md or mkdir command to create the
subdirectory in the desired file system.
For example, to create a subdirectory on the flash card inserted in slot 2, if the flash memory has
current management focus, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX# mkdir slot2 TEST
Syntax: md | mkdir [slot1 | slot2] <dir-name>
You can enter either md or mkdir for the command name.
Specify the slot1 or slot2 keyword to create a subdirectory on the flash card in slot 1 or slot 2,
respectively. If you do not specify one of these parameters, the command applies to the file system
that currently has the management focus.
The <dir-name> parameter specifies the subdirectory name. You can enter a name that contains
any combination of the following characters. Do not enter a slash “ / ” in front of the name.
Remember, a file name preceded by a slash represents the absolute path name (/flash, /slot1, or
/slot2).

to specify a subdirectory name that contains spaces, enter a string such as the following: “a long
subdirectory name”.
