Advanced Settings
Disk Management (Disk Format)
To format a hard drive or array, select it from the Target Disk drop box. Choose the file system desired from the File System dropbox (internal drives can only be formatted with XFS). Note that FAT32 has a 2 gigabyte single file size limit. If you choose FAT32 for your file system, you will not be able to store single files larger than 2 gigabytes on the drive. Use of the XFS or EXT3 file systems is recommended. Press Select Target Disk when done.
Depending on the size of the target hard disk or array, a Disk Format may take several hours to complete. Performance will be slow during the disk format.
