To Format a Silicon File System
Formatting a file system prepares it for use by clients for data storage. File systems created
through the Web UI will be formatted and mounted automatically. As a result, this procedure
should rarely, if ever, be used.
This procedure describes the steps to format an existing Silicon File System. Any existing data
in the file system will be lost.
A user must be either a Global Admin or Storage Admin, and must have Advanced Mode
enabled to format a file system. For more information, see "
User Management
".
