To format a storage medium that has been partitioned, you must format all the partitions individually,
instead of formatting the medium as a whole. You can format a storage medium only when no one is
accessing the medium.
Perform this task in user view.
Task Command
Format a storage medium. format medium-name
Mounting or unmounting a storage medium
Generally, a hot-swappable storage medium is automatically mounted when it is connected to the device.
If the system cannot recognize the storage medium, however, you must mount the storage medium before
you can access it.
To remove a hot-swappable storage medium from the device, you must first unmount it to disconnect it
from the device. Otherwise, files on the storage medium or even the storage medium itself might be
damaged.
Restrictions and guidelines
To mount/unmount a partitioned storage medium, you must mount/unmount all the partitions
individually, instead of mounting/unmounting the medium as a whole. To unmount a USB disk, make
sure the system has recognized the USB disk and the USB disk LED is not blinking. Otherwise, the USB
interface or USB disk might be damaged.
Before unmounting a storage medium, make sure no other users are accessing the medium. Otherwise,
the unmount operation fails.

Partitioning a USB disk
A USB disk can be divided into logical devices called "partitions." Operations on one partition do not
affect the other partitions.
The following partitioning modes are available for USB disks:
• Simple—Specify the number of partitions. The system divides a USB disk into the specified number
of partitions with the same size.
• Interactive—The system partitions a USB disk according to user input. Each partition must be at
least 32 MB.
