Hi Marc, this is likely to be IOS bug CSCdv65027/CSCds28168.
Description: The command-line interface (CLI) does not prompt for the erase keyword when the copy [/erase] source-url destination-url EXEC command is entered. This behaviour does not allow a file system to be erased using the copy [/erase] source-url destination-url EXEC command. Workaround: Enter the erase filesystem: command before entering the copy EXEC command. Hope that helps ;-) Claudia -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Marc Russell Sent: 03 September 2002 04:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Router IOS Upgrade bug in 12.1 images [7:52489] Is your flash read-only?
