Disk Format
To format a hard drive or array, select it from
the Target Disk drop box. Choose the le
system desired from the File System dropbox
(internal drives can only be formatted with XFS).
Note that FAT32 has a 4 gigabyte lesize limit
for individual les. If you choose FAT32 for your
le system, you will not be able to store single
les larger than 4 gigabytes on the drive. Use of
the XFS or EXT3 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. Performance will be slow during the
disk format.
