Restrictions and guidelines
It is normal that the specified partition size and the actual partition size have an error less than 5% of the
total memory.
Before partitioning a USB disk:
• Back up the files in the storage medium. The partition operation clears all data in the medium.
• If you are partitioning a USB disk, make sure the disk is not write protected. Otherwise, the partition
operation will fail, and you must remount or reinstall the disk to restore access to the USB disk.
• Make sure no other users are accessing the medium. Otherwise, the partition operation fails.
After partitioning a USB disk:
• Reconfigure paths of application files to include the correct partition information.
• If the device starts up from a USB disk, put the startup software image files and the configuration
files in the first partition of the USB disk.
• To guarantee the startup system software image and configuration files sufficient storage space, set
the path for log files to a partition other than the first partition. By default, the system automatically
saves log files to the second partition. If the path does not exist, use the info-center logfile directory
command to change the path to avoid log loss. For more information about this command, see
Network Management and Monitoring Command Reference.
