In DatastoreBrowser vmdk file size not the same as busybox?

Hello

I have a few virtual machines in ESXi 4.0 U1, I installed the virtual disks as "thin" then they should grow in size, when the virtual machine is increasingly large.

If I look at the vmdk files in the DatastoreBrowser of vSphere Client 4 is the case and I have a few files 20 GB for my Windows Server 2008 vmdk files.

But if I look in the real file from busybox system (I use WinSCP or putty and even with Trilead VMX) then each vmdk-dish has the maximum size of 100 GB (exactly 107 GB). The vmdk file is named hard-plate here and not hard like in the DatastoreBrowser.

If I download the file DatastoreBrowser vmdk to a Windows machine that I get a vmdk-apartment with great size and not the size specified in DatastoreBrowser.

Surprisingly all-flat-files vmdk together (seen in WinSCP or VMX) are larger than the disk HARD Physics (500 GB).

What is c?

Thank you, franc

Hello

as said marcelo, thin discs works on the VMFS partition level. The thin disks does not exist outside of a VMFS partition.

For example, is run you 'df - kh' you can see the real disk (distributed) of the VMFS partition space. In other words, you can see the total amount of disk space used by the thin disks of the virtual machines.

Anyway, you turn in the busybox "ls - sh" (instead of 'ls - lh') you will see the real space of the thin virtual disk for a particular virtual machine (vmdk).

But the problem is that tools such as winscp see the size of the disk space of the thin disks. This tools see the size of the reserved the vmdk file. Then, it copies all the file size of the disk as a thick disk. And of course, the target file system partition that will contain the thin disks, does not support thin disks.

A thin disk with 3 GB of actual data (distributed) and a 10 GB reserved size is copied on the net by Winscp as a 10 GB drive.

Best wishes / Saludos.

  • Incorrect (inflated). The VMDK file size

    Hi all

    I am running VMware Workstation 10.0.2 build-1744117 and scratching my head as to why the size of my.

Please find below the screenshots of corroboration.  It would be much appreciated if someone could shed some light on why this is the case.

  • the numbering font size is not the same as the font size of text

    After generating the chm file, I noticed that some of the numbering sizes police were not the same as the font size of the text. Some of them seemed OK tho. For example, on a single page, it would be like this:

    font big.gif

    The numbers are greater than text. But on other pages, the size would be the same. What is the cause for this and how to fix it?

    Hello

    This is very probably a css problem, check the html code of your lists. My guess is that the 'correct' lists have a class list attached, while the "incorrect" lists are not and use the default settings of the browser for the font family and size of the police.

    Please send the HTML for a correct and an incorrect list.

  • Surely the size measure LMT has not the same

    Hello

    If we identify not UNIFORM, surely the size of the measure has not the same.

    However, http://www.oaktable.net/articles/locally-managed-tablespaces States

    + You can ask yourself, "If a single bit is a measure, probably all extensions in the tablespace are then obliged to present the same size?". It's true -as in the example above, Oracle allows you to specify any size you like, but it will be always reduces to a number of bits of the bitmap, where each bit represents a segment of the space. In any case, it is advisable for all extensions in a tablespace to be the same size, because it eliminates the space lost because of the fragmentation. +

    Doesn't it not bad?

    Thank you.

    So, you're saying that each bit in the bitmap LMT will be the size as much as the lowest possible? And if we have a measure 1 M, it is going to be 1 024 000 bytes?

    Only the hard drive manufacturers use 1 000 000 bytes. The rest of the computer industry has pretty much standardized on 1 MB = 2 * 20.

    In addition, if the BLOCKS are 8K (or 2K, 4K, 16K, 32K) and 8 K = 8192 bytes, and if 1 MB MUST be a multiple of blocks assigned, you can check quickly enough that 1 MB = 128 x 8 K - BLOCKS. (And Yes, you can choose ANY size you want for a block, but that can get silly and will probably cause "opportunities for off-peak service calls").

    And we know that extensions are allocated in BLOCKS. (So why no Oracle used number of advancements of level measurement?)

    >

    So if we have a 64K extent, followed by a measure of 1 MB, followed by a measure of 64K, Oracle will store as

    1 followed by 1 s to 1 M and then 1 for the next measure 64K?

    To answer your question (even if it is answered on this link to the Oak Table - explicitly)

    The ILO plan represents the size of measurement RB. And non-linear growth that the system uses after distributing a few extensions will always be a multiple of the size of this base.

    Then the first few times the table grows, it will be in blocks of 64 k with each piece slightly.

    The next time it grows, it will say "I have seen the growth here before and to save effort later" so it will distribute pieces of 1 M. And a piece of 1 M is 16 x 64K, so each piece of 1 M will be represented by 16 bits. Then, after a few of those pieces of 1 M, it will distribute pieces of 8 M and guess how many 64 K parts there are in this 8 M chunk - each represented by one bit.

    And since all this piece pieces in this specific tablespace are 64K, if a table is dropped, all of its pieces can be distributed to other tables/segments as needed with no wasted space.

    That is the second reason to use LMT.

    Now you know.

    But, how does that help you administer the database? (Other than following best practices to use LMT?)

  • Different block size in the same cluster

    Hello

    We use vSphere 4.0 U1. The size of the block of our VMFS data warehouses is configured as 1 MB.
    We plan to add a new datastore with 2 or 4 MB, my question is:
    Is it possible to configure different block sizes in the same cluster without damaging the VMS and without affecting
    vMotion, SVMotion, FT, vDR, I/O performance, clone the virtual machine in another data store, deploy a VM in the data store different block size... etc?
    If it's ok then all limitations or disadvantages should we pay attention to?
    I have'nt found any document concerning the present and hope you guys can shed some light on this subject.
    Thanks in avdance.

    It is not question of having data with different block sizes stores - the only thing you need to keep in mind is the size limitations of different file between the block sizes - so you won't able to svmotion a virtual machine if the VMDK sizes are both great.

  • Why using the typewriter in acrobat 9 adds less file size that the use of the text of the comment in acrobat 11 tool?

    Why using the typewriter in acrobat 9 adds less file size that the use of the text of the comment in acrobat 11 tool?

    Two employees, one using acrobat 9 and the other uses acrobat 11. The two employees open a secure document one page 105 KB in size. Used using acrobat 9 using the typewriter tool to add comments. Document increases in volume to 137 kb. Second employee using acrobat 11 uses the comment add the text tool (since it is no longer a typewriter tool). This employee has to use tool once and the document immediately increases size of 105 k to 950 + kb. Why is this? What can be done to avoid this?

    As I suspected much earlier, the difference is in the fonts that are used for the text. For the smaller file, text annotation font is Times Roman. that is a policy that is essentially built into Acrobat/Reader. For the larger file, the font is Tahoma, which is not an integrated police force, which ends by happens so the entire police gets embedded in the PDF file. The size of this font on disk file is 681KO on my system (Mac), and it ends up taking more space when they are embedded in the PDF file. The same type of thing happens with form fields and this is done so that all characters in the font are available when the text is changed in a system that may not have the installed font.

    One of the problems is if you try to reduce the size of the file by changing the font that used up one of the built-in ones (Courier, Helvetica, TImes Roman), Acrobat does not remove the now unused of the file font information, if you do not get the reduction in file size that you can imagine, even if the font is no longer presented as being incorporated. I submitted this as a bug some time ago, but it has not been fixed.

  • Renaming of files exe with the same name

    I have

    just installed a game on steam.  The package ended up being buggy, so it did not work.  But I found a solution on the Forum and he told me to rename these two files exe under the same name.  Its the only way to fix the game.  Others did and cela worked.  When I try to rename the file an error pops up telling me that I can't have two files with the same name.  In summary, this is what is happening.

    two files are: prince of persia.exe and princeofpersia_launcher.exe .

    Need to rename it to princeofpersia_launcher.exe to the prince of persia.exe

    An error pops up saying ERROR RENAME FILE or FOLDER: cannot rename princeofpersia_launcher: a file with the specified name already exists.  Specify a different file name.

    The problem is that these two exe files MUST have the name of prince of Persia: work.  Is it possible that I could do?

    It is not possible to have two files with the same name in the same folder.  Something is wrong with the instructions that you try to follow.  What do say exactly?  Can you give us a link for them?

  • Why can't easily get us a paid receipt?  NOT the same thing as a Bill.

    I add another voice to those who talk about this problem on various forums.  By our State regulations, we must provide a receipt paid with our credit card records that show what we paid and the fact that he has been paid ($0 balance).  Usually not a problem.  Go to my account, easy to find place to print an invoice, but which shows the balance remaining, as if not yet paid.  Looked and looked for a paid receipt, but no luck.  Searched the site, searched the forums but only found a lot of other people with the same problem but no resolution.

    Dear Adobe, for many of us, if not all, an invoice is NOT the same as a paid receipt.

    This seems to be the crux of the problem.  Once I'm finally connected to someone on the live chat, which finally sent me for something that I could print but contained no information about what was bought and did not show a balance, I answered with this support:

    "We will try this, but it still shows a total, rather than the 'freed' amount. Receive a receipt for a transaction is such a normal commercial practice, I agree with the many entries in forum about this that it should be as easy to find as the Bill is.  You shouldn't have to dig, search and chat just to get the proof that you have received our money.  Please send this feedback along to someone who might do something. »

  • Adjust overall color of the process used in multiple files open at the same time?

    I often draw series of illustrations (maps) using the same overall color of the process and later to adjust the value of the color in all the files.

    In previous versions of Illustrator I just all the open files and adjust the color values in a single file and all other files automatically got the same values and could still be saved.

    This does not work in Illustrator CC 19.1.

    How to do this in a way effort now?

    Please tell the history of the ease of sharing 'lost in versions '.

    I asked at the start of the best technical sharing and setting/editing of uniform colors between multiple documents.

    We cannot link to a shared color palette and just edit this palette because the colour palettes apply only to the actual document when used.

    I tried a work-around, which probably works for my needs, is the attached illustration.

    I work with a set of four-color CMYK defined as Global colors, so I only need to adjust the CMYK values in the color chart to affect all the colors used in the document.

    But this only applies to the actual document and does not, when objects are copied/pasted between similar files.

    Instead, if I name the Global CMYK color chart (e.g.Pink) definition instead of simply use process values (0-70-20-0), give me a change to update a definition when copying objects between similar documents. If I choose "Merge swatches" in the dialog box "Swatch Conflict", the old 'Rose' (original) color will be updated to the new definition of the "Rose".

    Hi feliciag47700784,

    It is certainly is a problem with color management. What is your process for sabing JPG files? If in make sure you LR (the best) you choose sRGB as the color space in the options of the export module file. If you save from Photoshop, you will want to use file > save for Web and make sure you choose sRGB in the save for web dialog box.

    If, in Photoshop, you use file > save as, this isn't a good workflow with LR, as it breaks the Assembly return. If you choose this route, you can use edit > convert to profile to change the document in sRGB before saving.

    Hope this helps,
