11: Maintenance and Diagnostics Settings

Filesystem Settings

Use the file system to list, view, add, remove, and transfer files. The EDS-MD4/8/16 uses an EXT3 flash file system to store files. This is a journalled file system, which means that changes to the file system are recorded before the actual changes themselves are made. In the event of power loss, the use of journaling can usually recover from changes that had been started but not completed.

Some file systems may contain a 'lost+found' directory. In the event of power loss in the midst of file system I/O, file data that cannot be fully recovered will be placed in this directory. It is recommended to always restart the system from the Web Manager application or the CLI.

Note: It is recommended to always use the Web Manager application or the CLI to shutdown/restart the system.
