3 Flash memory and PCMCIA flash card file management commands For example, to delete all files with names that start with "test" from flash memory, if flash memory has the current management focus, enter a command such as the following. BigIron RX# delete test*.* For example, to delete all files on the flash card in slot 2, if flash memory has the current management focus, you can enter one of the following commands. BigIron RX# delete /slot2/ or BigIron RX# delete slot2 Recovering ("undeleting") a file You can recover or undelete a file you have deleted from a flash card file system. NOTE You cannot recover or undelete a file from the flash memory file system. Therefore, the undelete command does not apply to the flash memory file system. The software attempts to recover the file in the file system that has the current management focus. By default, flash memory has the management focus. If you want to recover a file in a file system that does not have the current management focus, you must switch the management focus to the desired file system using the cd command. For more information about switching the management focus, refer to "Switching the management focus" on page 41. For example, to undelete a file on the flash card in slot 2, if flash memory has the current management focus, enter a command such as the following. BigIron RX# cd slot2 BigIron RX# undelete Undelete file ?RIMARY ? (enter y or n) :y Input one character: P File recovered successfully and named to PRIMARY For each file that can be undeleted from the flash card in slot 2, the CLI displays the remaining name entry in the file directory and prompts you for the first character of the file name. You can enter any valid file name character. You do not need to enter the character that was used before in the deleted file name. Once you enter a character and the CLI undeletes the file, the CLI continues with the next file that can be undeleted. For each file, specify "y" or "n", and specify a first character for the files that you select to undelete. NOTE When you delete a file from a flash card, the CLI leaves the file intact but removes the first letter in the file name from the file directory. However, if you save file changes or new files that use part of the space occupied by the deleted file, you cannot undelete the file. The undelete command lists only the files that can be undeleted. To end the undelete process, enter the CTRL + C key combination. Syntax: undelete 50 BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide 53-1002253-01
