Filesystem Settings

Use the Filesystem to view Statistics. A user may also compact or format the Filesystem. The

xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server uses an EXT3 flash file system to store files.

This is a journalled file system, which means that changes to the file system are recorded before

the actual changes themselves are made. In the event of power loss, the use of journaling can

usually recover from changes that had been started but not completed.

Some file systems may contain a 'lost+found' directory. In the event of power loss in the midst of

file system I/O, file data that cannot be fully recovered will be placed in this directory. It is

recommended to always restart the system from the Web Manager application.

Note: It is recommended to always use the Web Manager application to shutdown/

restart the system.
