Summary
Sub-menu: /partition
Starting from v6rc5 it is possible to partition NAND flash, allowing to install own OS on each partition and specify primary and fallback partitions.
Note: Repartitioning of the NAND requires latest bootloader version
Minimum partition sizes:
- 32MB on MIPS
- 40MB on PowerPC
- 48MB on CCR
Maximum number of allowed partitions is 8.
[admin@bumba] /partitions> print Flags: A - active, R - running # NAME FALLBACK-TO VERSION SIZE 0 AR part0 next RouterOS v6.0rc5 64Mi
Commands
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| repartition (integer) | Will reboot the router and reformat the NAND, leaving only active partition. |
| copy-to (<partition>) | Clone running OS with config to specified partition. Previously stored data on partition will be erased. |
| save-config-to (<partition>) | Clone running config on specified partition. Everything else is untouched. |
| restore-config-from (<partition>) | Copy config from specified partition to running partition |
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| name (string; Default: ) | Name of the partition |
| fallback-to (etherboot | next | <partition-name>; Default: next) | What to do if active partition fails to boot:
|
Read-only
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| active (yes | no) | Partition is active |
| running (yes | no) | Currently running partition |
| size (integer[MiB]) | Partition size |
| version (string) | Current RouterOS version installed on the partition |
