Mounting/Unmounting a Storage Medium
For a hot swappable storage medium (excluding flash), such as a CF card, you can use the mount
and umount command to mount or unmount it.
z By default, a storage medium is automatically mounted when connected to the device. However,
when a storage medium is connected to a lower version system, the system cannot recognize the
storage medium. To perform read and write operations to the storage medium, you must mount it.
z When a device is unmounted, it is in a disconnected state, and you can then remove the storage
medium from the system safely. If you plug out a storage medium without unmounting it, files on
the storage medium or even the storage medium may be damaged.
z An unmounted storage medium can be used only when it is mounted again.
Follow the steps below to mount/unmount a storage medium:

Setting File System Prompt Modes
The file system provides the following two prompt modes:
z alert: In this mode, the system warns you about operations that may bring undesirable
consequences such as file corruption or data loss.
z quiet: In this mode, the system does not prompt confirmation for any operation.
To prevent undesirable consequence resulting from misoperations, the alert mode is preferred.
