File System Management
The Dell Force10 system can use the internal Flash, external Flash, or remote devices to store files. It
stores files on the internal Flash by default but can be configured to store files elsewhere.
To view file system information:
The output of the command
show file-systems in the example below shows the total capacity, amount of free
memory, file structure, media type, read/write privileges for each storage device in use.

You can change the default file system so that file management commands apply to a particular device or
memory.
To change the default storage location:
In the example below, the default storage location is changed to the external Flash of the primary RPM.
File management commands then apply to the external Flash rather than the internal Flash.
