The Locks field indicates the number of concurrent processes using the file.
The switch automatically compacts FLASH memory when a maximum threshold of deleted files is reached. Compaction frees space for new files by discarding garbage. A message will appear when FLASH compaction has been activated. Another message appears when FLASH compaction is complete.
While FLASH is compacting, do not restart the switch or use any commands that affect the FLASH file subsystem. Do not restart the switch, or create, edit, load, rename or delete any files until a message confirms that FLASH file compaction is completed. Interrupting flash compaction may result in damage to files.
Online CLI Help
Online help is available for all switch commands in the CLI. Typing a question mark “?” at the end of a partially completed command displays a list of the parameters that may follow the current command line, with the minimum abbreviations in uppercase letters. The current command line is then re- displayed, ready for further input.
An online help facility provides more detailed help information via the command:
HELP [topic]
If a topic is not specified, a list of available topics is displayed. The HELP command displays information from the system help file stored in FLASH memory. The help file used by the HELP command must be defined using the command:
SET HELP=helpfile
The current help file and other system information can be displayed with the command:
