Formatting a Disk
To format and create the Core and Archive directories on a specified disk, use the
format command. The format command permanently erases all data on the disk.
This command is available only in SuperUser mode.
If you wish to retain the startup-config file, ensure you move the file off the CSS
before reformatting the disk. Also make sure you have a copy of the CSS software
ADI file to reinstall on the CSS.
To format a disk, use the following commands:
• format disk_slot - Formats the specified disk. The slot number designates
which disk you want to format. Valid disk_slot selections are 0 (for the disk
in slot 0) or 1 (for the disk in slot 1).
• format disk_slot {quick} - Formats the specified disk (0 or 1). The quick
option reformats the disk without performing cluster verification.
Note Use the quick disk format only when you are certain of the disk integrity.
For example, to format the disk in slot 1, enter:
# format 1
The CSS queries you about formatting the disk.
Formatting the disk results in all disk data being
permanently erased.
Are you sure you want to continue? (yes,no):
Enter one of the following:
• yes to reformat the disk.
• no to end the reformat function. If the disk has unrecoverable errors and you
do not reformat it, be aware that the file system may be corrupt and
functionality is compromised.
