That Unmount function is used when the camera is to be shut down for maintenance or when
the mass storage has to be physically removed for some reason. The purpose of unmounting
is to protect the currently processed data on mass storage at the moment of removal of the
storage. If the local storage is being used by camera and some videos or snapshots are
being recorded to the disk, then the sudden shutdown or removal of the disk without
unmounting may corrupt the file that is currently being used by the camera. The rest of the
files are not influenced in any way.
Please note that “Save&Reboot” function of the camera also does unmounting automatically
for the user.
Mount Failure
If the inserted disk’s file system is not EXT3, then the Mounting would fail and an error
message would appear. The common reason is that the disk may have previously been used
in other file systems, such as Windows based PC or photo camera. If the disk does not have
the right file system, then you will get an error message. In that case the disk has to be
formatted first. The camera provides convenient formatting function within web management.

Format
When the disk is inserted to the camera for the first time, it is recommended to format it, to
make sure the file system of the disk would be compatible with camera. If the disk has
already been moun
ted, the “Format” button is grayed out, unmount the disk first to enable the
“Format” button.
