Managing Router Files
114083 Rev. A 5-31
To manage the files on a partitioned volume, you can use any of the commands
that you would normally use to manage the files on an unpartitioned volume. For
example, you can compact the files on one volume without affecting the files on
the other.
You can use Command > Copy to copy the router files to the new volume. See
“Copying a File” earlier in this chapter.
Deleting a Partition
If you partitioned the NVFS on your AN or ASN, you can remove the partition to
revert to a single flash file system. You might want to do this, for example, if the
router software image is larger than half of the total media size.
To delete a partition, follow these steps:
1. In the Router Files Manager, click on the Volume box and switch to the
primary volume.
2. Select Commands > Delete Partition.
A window appears prompting you to confirm your decision to delete the
partition
(Figure 5-17).

Note: In partitioning the volume, the router creates a special partition file in
the secondary volume. (You will not see the file in the secondary volume’s list
of files.) The partition file takes up 98 bytes of space in the secondary volume
only.
Caution: Deleting a partition deletes all files from the secondary volume.
Files on the primary volume remain intact, and the primary volume then
represents the entire size of the medium.
