Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
• When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a domain name server (DNS) server is
configured.
• After you insert a USB memory device into the USB port on an S5000 and enter the format
usbflash:// command, to erase all existing files and reformat the file system on the device, allow the
process to run to completion before removing the device from the USB port. If you remove the USB
memory device before the formatting is complete, the Dell Networking OS may not recognize the file
system on the device.

Mounting an NFS File System
This feature enables you to quickly access data on an NFS mounted file system. You can perform file
operations on an NFS mounted file system using supported file commands.
This feature allows an NFS mounted device to be recognized as a file system. This file system is visible on the
device and you can execute all file commands that are available on conventional file systems such as a Flash
file system.
Before executing any CLI command to perform file operations, you must first mount the NFS file system to a
mount-point on the device. Since multiple mount-points exist on a device, it is mandatory to specify the
mount-point to which you want to load the system. The /f10/mnt/nfsdirectory is the root of all mount-
points.
To mount an NFS file system, perform the following steps:
