Flash Partitioning

[vincent-n]

The flash on one of my router was partitioned into 2 partition by my pre-decessor and now I wanted to de-partition it into one single partition. The current config is:

partition flash 2 4 8

and I would guess that by issuing the command:

no partition flash 2 4 8

will give me back one partition. The question is does anyone know of any issue that I have to watch out for when repartitioning? Thanks.

i would say, first before doing anything else, back up any files on flash(including IOS image and saved configs) on to a tftp server, and then play with the partitions.

I think when you give no partition command, the file system in flash will be completely erased.

I've already done all that. Saved configs and IOS. Thanks for your feedback.
