Hey guys,
so I'm running Debian on ESXi. I created 2, 800GB Thick Provisioned Lazy Zeroed disks and installed the OS, which leaves me with 27GB free on the two drives I used.
I install the OS, everything is fine and dandy, however when running the OS eventually I'll get an error and the OS will crash saying there is no space left on the VMFS volume, I browsed the datastore and on each VMFS volume there was a file that consumed the rest of the available disk space, which makes NO sense since I used two thick provisioned disks. The file names are something like "openmediavault_1-000000001.vmdk"
I'm really confused as to why this is happening since I'm using thick provisioned disks, it should NOT be happening.
