Disk Format
To format a hard drive or array, select it from
the Target Disk drop box. Choose the fi le
system desired from the File System dropbox
(internal drives can only be formatted with XFS).
Note that FAT32 has a 4 gigabyte fi lesize limit
for individual fi les. If you choose FAT32 for your
fi le system, you will not be able to store single
fi les larger than 4 gigabytes on the drive. Use of
the XFS or EXT3 fi le systems is recommended.
Press Select Target Disk when done, and then
Start format.
Depending on the size of the target hard disk or
array, a Disk Format may take several hours to
complete. Shares on the LinkStation will not be
accessible during the disk format.
