Cisco Systems Cisco 12006, Cisco 12406 manual Squeeze Command Functions Example

Chapter 3 Installing the Router

Using Flash Memory Cards in the RP

To remove deleted files from a Flash memory directory permanently, but leave undeleted files intact, enter the squeeze device-namecommand at the privileged EXEC mode prompt on the system console, where device-namecan be slot0:, slot1:, or bootflash:. The squeeze command permanently removes deleted files and makes all other undeleted files contiguous, thus conserving storage space.

To prevent loss of data due to sudden power loss, the squeezed data is temporarily saved to another Flash memory area reserved specifically for system use.

An example of the squeeze command follows.

Router# squeeze slot0:

All deleted files will be removed, Continue? [confirm]y Squeeze operation may take a while, Continue? [confirm]y Squeeze of slot0 complete

Router# ebESZ

In the preceding example command display, the characters in the final line (ebESZ) represent the Flash memory operations performed during the execution of the squeeze command. Table 3-14 describes these indicators.
