During the bootup of Cisco WS-C2960-24-S switch I see following messages: Initializing Flash... mifs[2]: 0 files, 1 directories mifs[2]: Total bytes : 3870720 mifs[2]: Bytes used : 1024 mifs[2]: Bytes available : 3869696 mifs[2]: mifs fsck took 0 seconds. mifs[3]: 519 files, 19 directories mifs[3]: Total bytes : 27998208 mifs[3]: Bytes used : 8689152 mifs[3]: Bytes available : 19309056 mifs[3]: mifs fsck took 6 seconds. ...done Initializing Flash.
"mifs[3]" represents the "flash:" directory in IOS where IOS image, HTTP server files, VLAN database and configuration file is stored. However, any ideas what this 3870720 bytes area on flash memory is? Probably (first stage of) the booloader which is also stored on flash memory but not accessible from IOS? regards, Martin _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
