Creating a Partition
To partition the NVFS:
1. In the main Site Manager window, choose Tools > Router Files Manager.
The Router Files Manager window opens (refer to Figure
5-1).
2. Select the volume you want to partition.
Make sure the value for
Contiguous free space is more than half the
volume’s total size.
To create volumes of equal size, the existing file system cannot be more than
half the total media size. If the file system is too large, you might want to do
one or more of the following so that you will be able to create a partition:
-- Delete some files, as described in “Deleting a File” on page 5-10.
-- Compact the files, as described in “C
ompacting Flash Memory” on
page
5-22.
-- Format the media, as described in the previous section.
3. Make sure that the flash memory card is not write-protected.
Bay Networks ships memory cards unprotected. Refer to the installation
guide for the BayStack AN, ANH, or ASN for information about setting the
Read/Write switch on the flash memory card.
4. Choose Commands > Create Partition.
A window opens asking you to confirm your decision to partition the media
(Figure
5-15).
