‌

Storage medium and file system naming conventions

The file system on the flash memory has the same name as the flash memory. The name has the following parts:

· Storage medium type flash.

· Colon (:).

A CF card, HD card, SD card, or USB disk name and the file system names share the following parts:

· Storage medium type, for example, usb for the USB disk.

· Sequence number, a lower-case English letter such as a, b, or c.

· Partition number, a digit that starts at 0 and increments by 1. If the storage medium is not partitioned, the system determines that the storage medium has one partition. (A storage medium name does not contain a partition number.)

· Colon (:).

For example, the first USB disk is named usba:, and the file system on the first partition of the first USB disk is named usba0:.

IMPORTANT:

File system names are case sensitive and must be entered in lower case.

‌

File system location

(In IRF mode.) To identify a file system on the master device, you do not need to specify the file system location. To identify a file system on a subordinate member device, you must specify the file system location in the slotn# format. The n argument represents the IRF member ID of the member device. For example, the location is slot2# for a file system that resides on member device 2.

IMPORTANT:

The file system location string is case sensitive and must be entered in lower case.

‌

Default file system

You are working with the default file system by default after you log in. To specify a file or directory on the default file system, you do not need to specify the file system name. For example, you do not need to specify any location information if you want to save the running configuration to the root directory of the default file system.

To change the default file system, use the BootWare or Boot ROM menu. For more information, see the software release notes.

Directories

Directories in a file system are structured in a tree form.

Root directory

The root directory is represented by a forwarding slash (/). For example, flash:/ represents the root directory of the flash memory.

Working directory

The working directory is also called the current directory.

Directory naming conventions

When you specify a name for a directory, follow these conventions:

· A directory name can contain letters, digits, and special characters except for asterisks (*), vertical bars (|), forward slashes (/), backward slashes (\), question marks (?), left angle brackets (<), right angle brackets (>), quotation marks ("), and colons (:).

· A directory whose name starts with a dot character (.) is a hidden directory. To prevent the system from hiding a directory, make sure the directory name does not start with a dot character.

Commonly used directories

The device has some factory-default directories. The system automatically creates directories during operation. These directories include:

· diagfile—Stores diagnostic information files.

· license—Stores license files.

· logfile—Stores log files.

· seclog—Stores security log files.

· versionInfo—Stores software version information files.

Files

File naming conventions

When you specify a name for a file, follow these conventions:

· A file name can contain letters, digits, and special characters except for asterisks (*), vertical bars (|), forward slashes (/), backward slashes (\), question marks (?), left angle brackets (<), right angle brackets (>), quotation marks ("), and colons (:).

· A file whose name starts with a dot character (.) is a hidden file. To prevent the system from hiding a file, make sure the file name does not start with a dot character.

Common file types

The device has some factory-default files and might create some files automatically during operation. The types of these files include:

· .ipe file—Compressed software image package file.

· .bin file—Software image file.

· .cfg file—Configuration file.

· .mdb file—Binary configuration file.

· .log file—Log file.

Specifying a directory name or file name

Specifying a directory name

To specify a directory, you can use the absolute path or a relative path. For example, the working directory is flash:/. To specify the test2 directory in Figure 1, you can use the following methods:

· flash:/test/test1/test2 (absolute path)

· flash:/test/test1/test2/ (absolute path)

· test/test1/test2 (relative path)

· test/test1/test2/ (relative path)

Figure 1 Sample directory hierarchy

‌

Specifying a file name

To specify a file, use the following methods:

· Enter the absolute path of the file and the file name in the format of filesystem/directory1/directory2/…/directoryn/filename, where directoryn is the directory in which the file resides.

· Enter the relative path of the file and the file name.

For example, the working directory is flash:/. The samplefile.cfg file is in the test2 directory shown in Figure 1. To specify the file, you can use the following methods:

· flash:/test/test1/test2/samplefile.cfg

· test/test1/test2/samplefile.cfg

FIPS compliance

The device supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements. Support for features, commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. For more information about FIPS mode, see Security Configuration Guide.

Restrictions and guidelines: File system management

(In standalone mode.) To avoid file system corruption, do not install or remove storage media during file system management.

(In IRF mode.) To avoid file system corruption, do not perform the following tasks during file system management:

· Install or remove storage media.

· Perform a master/subordinate switchover.

If you remove a storage medium while a directory or file on the medium is being accessed, the device might not recognize the medium when you reinstall it. To reinstall this kind of storage medium, first complete one of the following tasks:

· If you were accessing a directory on the storage medium, change the working directory.

· If you were accessing a file on the storage medium, close the file.

· If another administrator was accessing the storage medium, unmount all partitions on the storage medium.

Make sure a USB disk is not write protected before an operation that requires the write right on the disk.

You cannot access a storage medium that is being partitioned, or a file system that is being formatted or repaired.

Before managing file systems, directories, and files, make sure you know the possible impact.

Managing storage media and file systems

Partitioning a storage medium

About this task

A storage medium can be divided into logical devices called partitions. Operations on one partition do not affect the other partitions.

Restrictions and guidelines

IMPORTANT:

Partitioning a storage medium clears all data on the medium. As a best practice, back up the files in a storage medium before you partition the storage medium.

‌

The flash memory does not support partitioning.

To avoid partition failure or drive letter loss, make sure no other users are accessing the medium while you are partitioning the medium. If the drive letter is lost, you must reboot the device to resolve the issue.

Make sure the storage medium to be partitioned is not write protected. If the storage medium is write protected, the operation will fail, and you must remount the storage medium to restore access to the storage medium.

A partition must have a minimum of 32 MB of storage space.

The actual partition size and the specified partition size might have a difference of less than 5% of the storage medium's total size.

Prerequisites

Back up the files in the storage medium.

Procedure

To partition a storage medium, execute the following command in user view:

fdisk medium [ partition-number ]

CAUTION:

This command might cause partition failure and even drive letter loss. You must strictly follow the restrictions and guidelines when you use this command.

To partition a storage medium evenly, specify the partition-number argument. To customize the sizes of partitions, do not specify the partition-number argument. The command will require you to specify a size for each partition.

Mounting or unmounting a file system

Restrictions and guidelines

You can mount or unmount only a file system that is on a hot-swappable storage medium.

You can unmount a file system only when no other users are accessing the file system.

To prevent a USB disk and the USB interface from being damaged, make sure the following requirements are met before unmounting file systems on the USB disk:

· The system has recognized the USB disk.

· The USB disk LED is not blinking.

Mounting a file system

To mount a file system, execute the following command in user view:

mount filesystem

File systems on a hot-swappable storage medium are automatically mounted when the storage medium is connected to the device. If the system cannot recognize a file system, you must mount the file system before you can access it.

Unmounting a file system

To unmount a file system, execute the following command in user view:

umount filesystem

To remove a hot-swappable storage medium from the device, you must first unmount all file systems on the storage medium to disconnect the medium from the device. Removing a connected hot-swappable storage medium might damage files on the storage medium or even the storage medium itself.

Formatting a file system

Restrictions and guidelines

Formatting a file system permanently deletes all files and directories in the file system. You cannot restore the deleted files or directories.

You can format a file system only when no other users are accessing the file system.

Procedure

To format a file system, execute the following command in user view:

format filesystem [ ext4 | vfat ]

Repairing a file system

Restrictions and guidelines

If part of a file system is inaccessible, use this task to examine and repair the file system.

You can repair a file system only when no other users are accessing the file system.

Procedure

To repair a file system, execute the following command in user view:

fixdisk filesystem

Managing files and directories

Setting the operation mode for files and directories

About this task

The device supports the following operation modes:

· alert—The system prompts for confirmation when your operation might cause problems such as file corruption or data loss. This mode provides an opportunity for you to cancel a disruptive operation.

· quiet—The system does not prompt for confirmation when you perform a file or directory operation except the recycle bin emptying operation.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Set the operation mode for files and directories.

file prompt { alert | quiet }

The default mode is alert.

Displaying file and directory information

To display file and directory information, execute the following command in user view:

dir [ /all ] [ file | directory | /all-filesystems ]

If multiple users perform file operations (for example, creating or deleting files or directories) at the same time, the output from this command might be incorrect.

Displaying the contents of a text file

To display the contents of a text file, execute the following command in user view:

more file

Displaying the working directory

To display the working directory, execute the following command in user view:

pwd

Changing the working directory

About this task

(In standalone mode.) The default working directory is the root directory of the default file system.

(In IRF mode.) The default working directory is the root directory of the default file system on the master device.

Procedure

To change the working directory, execute the following command in user view:

cd { directory | .. }

Creating a directory

To create a directory, execute the following command in user view:

mkdir directory

Renaming a file or directory

To rename a file or directory, execute the following command in user view:

rename { source-file | source-directory } { dest-file | dest-directory }

Copying a file

About this task

You can copy a file as follows:

· Copy a local file and save it locally.

· Copy a local file and save it to a remote file server.

· Copy a file from a remote file server and save it locally.

The remote file server can be an FTP, TFTP, or HTTP server.

Restrictions and guidelines

In FIPS mode, the device supports only copying a local file and saving it locally.

To specify a file or directory on a remote file server, use the following guidelines:

Location	Name format	Remarks
On an FTP server	Enter the URL in the format of ftp://FTP username[:password]@server address[:port number]/file path[/file name].	The username and password must be the same as the username and password configured on the FTP server. If the server authenticates users only by the username, you are not required to enter the password. For example, to use the username a and password 1 and specify the startup.cfg file in the authorized working directory on the FTP server 1.1.1.1, enter ftp://a:[email protected]/startup.cfg.
On a TFTP server	Enter the URL in the format of tftp://server address[:port number]/file path[/file name].	For example, to specify the startup.cfg file in the working directory on TFTP server 1.1.1.1, enter the URL tftp://1.1.1.1/startup.cfg.
On an HTTP server	Enter the URL in the format of http://[HTTP username[:password]@ ]server address[:port number]/filepath[/file name].	The username and password in the URL must be the same as the username and password configured on the server. If only the username is required for authentication, you do not need to enter the password. If authentication is not required, you do not need to enter the username or password. For example, the startup.cfg file is saved in the authorized directory on the HTTP server at 1.1.1.1. The HTTP account username and password are a and 1, respectively. To copy the file, enter the URL http://a:[email protected]/startup.cfg. If authentication is not required, enter the URL http://1.1.1.1/startup.cfg.

‌

To specify an IPv6 address, enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets ([]), for example, ftp://test:test@[2001::1]:21/test.cfg.

Procedure

To copy a file, execute the command in user view.

In non-FIPS mode:

copy source-file { dest-file | dest-directory } [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] [ source interface interface-type interface-number ] [ append ]

In FIPS mode:

copy source-file { dest-file | dest-directory } [ append ]

Moving a file

To move a file, execute the following command in user view:

move source-file { dest-file | dest-directory }

Deleting and restoring files

About this task

You can delete a file permanently or move it to the recycle bin of the file system. A file moved to the recycle bin can be restored, but a permanently deleted file cannot.

Each file system has a recycle bin. A recycle bin is a directory named .trash in the root directory of the file system.

Restrictions and guidelines

Files in the recycle bin occupy storage space. To release the occupied storage space, delete files from the recycle bin.

To delete files from the recycle bin, use the reset recycle-bin command. If you use the delete command, the recycle bin might not be able to operate correctly.

To display files in a recycle bin, use one of the following methods:

· Access the root directory of the file system and execute the dir /all .trash command.

· Access the recycle bin directory of the file system and execute the dir command.

Deleting a file

To delete a file, execute one of the following commands in user view:

· Delete a file by moving it to the recycle bin.

delete file

· Delete a file permanently.

delete /unreserved file

· Delete files from the recycle bin.

reset recycle-bin [ /force ]

Restoring a file

To restore a file from the recycle bin, execute the following command in user view:

undelete file

Deleting a directory

Restrictions and guidelines

To delete a directory, you must delete all files and subdirectories in the directory.

Deleting a directory permanently deletes all its files in the recycle bin, if any.

Procedure

To delete a directory, execute the following command in user view:

rmdir directory

Archiving files and directories

About this task

You can archive files and directories to a single file for purposes such as file backup. The original files and directories still exist.

When you archive files and directories, you can choose to compress the archive files so the archive files use less storage space.

Procedure

To archive files and directories, execute the following command in user view:

tar create [ gz ] archive-file dest-file [ verbose ] source { source-file | source-directory }&<1-5>

Extracting files and directories

About this task

Use this feature to extract files and directories from archive files.

Restrictions and guidelines

To specify the screen keyword for the tar extract command, first use the tar list command to identify the types of the archived files. As a best practice, specify the keyword only if all archived files are text files. Displaying the content of an archived non-text file that contains terminal control characters might result in garbled characters and even cause the terminal unable to operate correctly. To use the terminal again, you must close the current connection and log in to the device again.

Procedure

To extract files and directories, execute the following commands in user view:

1. (Optional.) Display archived files and directories.

Restrictions and guidelines

During the automatic copying process, observe the LEDs on the device to determine progress and results.

· If the SYS LED flashes quickly, the copy operation is in progress.

· If the SYS LED flashes normally, the copy operation is completed.

· If the ALARM LED flashes for 10 seconds, the copy operation failed.

Possible reasons for copy operation failures include:

· You are not assigned the write right to the destination directory.

· The destination directory does not have sufficient free storage space to save the files.

· The hot-swappable storage medium is removed before the copy operation is completed.

· The specified source directory does not exist on the hot-swappable storage medium.

For the automatic copying feature to operate correctly, you must specify the source directory and the destination directory for the copy operation.
