Why does the Flash size displayed in the Add Image to Repository (Source:Cisco.com) function not match the actual size for some Cisco IOS devices?
A. Software Management does not erase files whose sizes are less than 1 MB on Cisco IOS devices because those files may be config files that are backed up to Flash partitions or .html files or Java applets used for management. Software Management subtracts sizes of all files whose sizes are less than 1 MB from the size of the Flash partition. The result of the subtraction is displayed as the size of the Flash partition in the Software Management user interface. The Software Repository Management window (Resource Manager Essentials > Software Mgmt > Software Repository) displays the size of the largest Flash partition on the device. The size is displayed as an integer-truncated value in megabytes. The Distribute Images screen displays information for all Flash partitions on the device. The values are displayed with two-decimal-digit precision. The example below illustrates Software Management’s behavior on a Cisco IOS device, which has two files whose sizes are 10 KB and 50 KB respectiv
