Buffalo Technology LS-WSGL User Manual

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