Vmfs-tools Introduction Originally loosely based on the, this set of tools has since evolved to handle more features from VMFS, such as extents, and allows to access VMFS through the standard Linux VFS with the help of the FUSE framework. While it is still work in progress and is not destined for production use yet, it can be of some help for some people.

Authors vmfs-tools is developped by Christophe Fillot and Mike Hommey. License vmfs-tools is free software/open source, distributed under the terms of the or any later version.

Build and install instructions To get a full build of vmfs-tools, you need the following prerequisites: • gcc • GNU make • libuuid's development files • pkg-config • libfuse's development files • asciidoc • xsltproc • docbook-xsl From the above list, only the first three are strictly required. The lack of libfuse's development files will result in the vmfs-fuse program not being built. The lack of asciidoc, xsltproc or docbook-xsl will result in no manual pages (though you can still look at the.txt files within the source tarball). Building vmfs-tools should be as simple as running ` make' or ` gmake`, depending on how GNU make's binary is named on your system. To install vmfs-tools, just run ` make install' (or ` gmake install').

The install location for the binaries is $prefix/sbin, $prefix/share/man for the manual pages, where $prefix is /usr/local by default. If you wish to install to some other place, you can override $prefix with the command ` make install prefix=/some/where'. Vmfs-tools has been verified to build on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD 7.2, Opensolaris 2009.06 and Cygwin 1.5.25. See the README file in the source tarball for more details about specific details for these platforms. Reporting bugs Please use the to report bugs.

Using thin provisioned virtual disks can provide many benefits. Not only do they allow over-provisioning, but with the prevalence of flash storage, performance degradation really isn’t a concern like it used to be.

I recently ran into a situation in my home lab where my Windows jump box ran out of disk space. I had downloaded a bunch of OVA and ISO files and had forgotten to move them over to a shared drive that I use for archiving. I expanded the disk by 10GB to take it from 40GB to 50GB, and moved off all the large files. After this, I had about 26GB used and 23GB free – much better.

Because that jump box is sitting on flash storage – which is limited in my lab – I had thin provisioned this VM to conserve as much disk space as possible. Game pc simulator kereta api. Despite freeing up lots of space, the VM’s VMDK was still consuming a lot more than 26GB. Notice below that doing a normal directory listing displays the maximum possible size of a thin disk. In this case, the disk has been expanded to 50GB: [root@esx0:/vmfs/volumes/58f77a6f-30961726-ac7e-002655e1b06c/jump] ls -lha total 49741856 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.0K Feb 12 21:50.
