FXRECLM.EXE usage:
FXRECLM.EXE <drive> [<count>]
Where <drive> is the drive letter of the flash disk (e.g. C: ), and
<count> is the number of successive garbage collection operations to perform
on the flash disk. One garbage collection operation will reclaim one 64k sector
of flash memory.
The FXRECLM.EXE utility stops the garbage collection process either when <count>
has been reached or when there is no more flash memory to recover, whichever
comes first.
For 2M bytes of Flash memory there are 32 sectors of 64k bytes each, four of which
are reserved for system BIOS use. The remaining 28 sectors are available for flash
disk use. Thus to perform garbage collection on all 28 64Kbyte sectors of flash disk
memory use the FXRECLM.EXE utility as follows:
FXRECLM C: 28
6.6.4 Flash File System Statistics
The TP400 Utilities Disk also contains a useful utility for reporting the status of the
flash disk. It can be used to find out how much flash memory is available, has been
used, and is recoverable through the garbage collection process.
FXINFO.EXE usage:
FXINFO.EXE <drive>
Where <drive> is the drive letter of the flash disk (e.g. C:)
The FXINFO utility provides a detailed flash disk report, most of which is of little use
to TP400 users. However the final section (an example of which is displayed below),
is of use in determining flash memory usage, in particular the ‘Recoverable Space’,
information.
The following is an extract from a typical FXINFO display:
...
Media Usage
Data Used : 639K
Free Space : 912K
Recoverable Space : 150K
The recoverable space is the amount of memory that can be recovered through the
garbage collection process. In the example above the recoverable space is reported
at 150K bytes.
