1.1.4 Storage Device Operations
I. Naming rules
Naming rules of the storage devices are as follows:
z
If there is only one storage device of the same type on the device, the physical
device name of the storage device is the storage device name. For example, for a
device with only one CF card, the physical device name of the CF card is cf.
z
If there are multiple storage devices with the same type on the device, the physical
device name of the storage device is composed of the storage device type and the
serial number of the storage device. The serial number is displayed in English
letters such as a, b or c. For example, for a device with multiple CF cards, the
physical device name of the first CF card is cfa, and that of the second is cfb, and
so on.
z
If storage device partitioning is supported on the device, the name of the partition
device is composed of the physical device name and partition number. The serial
numbers of partitions are displayed in numbers such as 0, 1 or 2. For a device with
only one CF card for example, the second partition of the CF card is cf1; for a
device with multiple CF cards, the third partition of the second CF card is cfb2. If
there is only one partition on the CF card, the partition name is the physical device
name followed by 0.
II. Memory space management

fixdisk
