Re: Squeeze not working in 12.0
I don't have the link handy, but there are different flash types on Cisco routers. Some don't allow you to squeeze the flash to regain space, others do. I'll see if I can find the link (I had it bookmarked on my work PC). I also question why you can delete if you can't squeeze, but did find a useful reason for it. If you copy your config to flash for backup and make changes to it later and want to keep same name without erasing flash its useful. The only drawback to this is when you do a show flash you have the one filename listed as many times as you saved it to flash. All of them have deleted next to them except for one. So... eventually you'll need to TFTP the files on flash to elsewhere, erase the flash and TFTP the files back down to clean it up. If your flash is big enough, you could also download a new image and delete old one. This way you don't have to use boot system commands to tell router which to boot off of. --- Richard Gallagher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don't ask me either, I have no idea why they did > this.

Re: Squeeze not working in 12.0
Don't ask me either, I have no idea why they did this. I have wondered for some time!!! Yes it's OK to erase the flash whilst the router is running, just don't reload it - or bang bye bye network!!

This command only works on the higher end paltforms - 7200, 7500 etc... Although the delete command is present there is no way to squeeze the flash.
