Comware

Hi

I try to upgrade the firmware of a Switch A5120 but it wasn´t not possyble due free space but the problem is that the free space does not match with the size of the files in the flash. 

With the size of the files i the flash the free space should be about 3000K and not 3 K

I send a displ version of the device

Try issuing a dir /all CLI Command to display all files (hidden files and folders too), not only non hidden ones as the simple dir CLI Command does.

When you issue a simple delete filename CLI Command the deleted file goes to the flash recycle-bin folder (which is hidden); deleting that way, with the usual delete, is just moving files...not really erasing them from the flash (indeed you can issue the undelete filename CLI Command to recover deleted file).

When instead you issue a delete /unreserved filename the file is definitely erased and no undelete action is possible.

To definitely empty the recycle-bin hidden folder perform a reset recycle-bin (it requires confirmation(s)) or a reset recycle-bin /force (it doesn't require confirmation(s)).

So try to empty the flash recycle-bin to grow flash free space and see if, doing that, you achieve what is needed to safely upgrade your Switch Boot ROM (btm) and System (bin) firmware images.

What dir /all .trash command currently reports?

The file [filename] (filename file among [] square brackets) means that the filename file was already moved into the .trash hidden recycle-bin folder so it can't be deleted again since it was deleted yet.

If so you have two options to free up space:

1. First restore (using undelete filename command) the deleted file [filename] - restoring that file will move it back on its original position from its actual position on the recycle-bin folder - and then finally delete it using the delete /unreserved filename command (that is erasing it without trashing it again into the recycle-bin, no restore will be possible).
2. Permanently reset the actually non void recycle-bin with the above suggested reset recycle-bin /force command.
