where <device-node>is the name given by the ioDrive driver to your device. This name is /dev/fctx where x indicates the device number. (The number reflects the PCIe bus for the ioDrive.) For example, the name /dev/fct4 refers to the ioDrive installed in PCIe Bus 4 in your Windows system. (Use ioManager or fio-statusto view this number.)

Options

-iImmediate: Causes a forced immediate detach (does not save metadata)

-qQuiet: Runs the Detach process without displaying the progress bar or percentage.

fio-format

Description

Performs a low-level format of the ioDrive. (This format is distinct from a format performed by Windows.) The fio-format utility displays a progress bar and percentage as it completes the format.

Note: The ioDrive ships pre-formatted and does not require the use of fio-format except to change the logical size of the device.

Caution: Use this utility with care, as it deletes all user information on the ioDrive.

Syntax

fio-format <ioDrive-device> [-q, -s <device-size>, -f, -u, -h, -v]

where <ioDrive-device>is the name given by the ioDrive driver to your device. This name is /dev/fctx where x indicates the device number (this number is the ioDrive’s PCIe bus). Use ioManager or fio-statusto view this number.
