You can use spaces in a file or subdirectory name if you enclose the name in double quotes. For
example, to specify a subdirectory name that contains spaces, enter a string such as the following:
“a long subdirectory name”.
A subdirectory or file name can be a maximum of 256 characters long. A complete subdirectory
path name cannot contain more than 256 characters.
There is no maximum file size. A file can be as large as the available flash card space.
NOTE
Auxiliary flash card file system applies to the Brocade NetIron XMR and Brocade MLX series only.
Wildcards
Commands to display a directory of files, to change the read-write attribute of a file, or to delete
files accept wildcards in the file name (file-name). With these commands, you can use “*”
(asterisk) as a wildcard for any part of the name. For example, all the following values are valid for
file-name:
• teststartup.cfg
• test*.cfg
• nmb02200.bin
• *.bin
• m*.bin
• m*.*
Formatting a flash card
The flash cards shipped with a management module are pre-formatted for the 16 FAT file system
used by the modules. If you want to use a flash card that is not formatted for the 16 FAT file system,
you need to reformat the flash card before you can store files on it.
CAUTION
Make sure the flash card is empty or does not contain files you want to keep. Formatting a flash
card completely erases all files on the card.
CAUTION
Once you start the formatting process, you cannot stop it. Even if you enter CTRL-C to stop the CLI
output and a new prompt appears, the formatting continues. Make sure you want to format the
card before you enter the command.
