Installed ESXi on USB/Flash but swap does not seem to have been placed on the virtual disk

Hello

I've read several times that when you install ESXi 5.1 on flash media he creates a work space available on a virtual disk of 4 GB in/tmp/scratch so that the USB itself is not used for temporary data to extend the life of the USB.  However, this doesn't seem to be from my experience and I was wondering if someone can help me to confirm that my disc scratch is actually on a virtual disk or whatever on the USB.  I should mention as well as installing ESXi has identified correctly as 'flash' disc type and the disc as a "Generic USB drive»

After installation, I noticed two things:

1 log-in user activity logs are able to survive a reboot (I don't think they should the ramdisk is dissolved after a reboot)

2. There is no directory with the path/tmp/scratch

Unfortunately I can not directly determine where the partition scratch is (be it on USB or RAM) because I did not have a file ' / etc/fstab "watching (even if I under ESXi 5.0 disk a hard base install?) and it doesn't seem to be a 'mount' command I can use to look at the existing mounts either.

Can anyone tell me what can I do to verify that the directory used for temporary files is actually a virtual disk and not on the USB drive itself?  Hours of research are presented only the forum messages and documentation clearly indicating that the file will use "/ tmp/scratch", but that just isn't the case.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

As you can see from the output

the UUID is a store existing data "640GB_WD_Black_AALS-1".

This proves that with an existing data store, a folder ".locker" (which is a ScratchLocation) is automatically created.

    I've set up another configuration of TCP/IP, but it does not connect. I need to access the 3 different machine networks. Any ideas?

    original title: alternate tcp/ip

    If by "alternate TCP/IP configuration" you mean the settings on this screen--> http://tinyurl.com/42kbqqz, then, to quote Inigo Montoya, "you keep using that Word. I don't think it means what you think it means. »

    The 'alternative' configuration settings tab, if you select "IP address private auto" (APIPA) or "specified user" is only used IF "obtain an IP address automatically" is set on the tab 'General' (http://tinyurl.com/8p9hn) AND the adapter cannot get an IP from a DHCP server.

    Most cable networks use a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses.  In this case, just plug your Ethernet cable and you're automatically configured and connected.

    If the problem is that your network requires a static IP address (that is, they use a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses), you will need a third-party network settings manager.  If you have an IBM (Lenovo) ThinkPad, you can use "Dial-up connections."

  • my CD does not open. The green light flashes but its does not

    I have a hp workstation xw4200. It had not been used since 2004. When we first turned the computer on the CD works perfectly. We even made a cd of music on it. But this computer needed some serious updates and since we have updated of pilots and other things, it did not work. The Green led comes on like its something but it does not open and it says that there is no cd inside.

    Here are a few ways to open the drawer with a CD/DVD with a stuck CD/DVD player,

    1. Open Workstation , and then search for your CD/DVD drive and right click and select eject.
    2. Get a paper clip and one end on open if you have something to dig with. Look on the front of your CD Player for a very small pin hole.


      Place the open end of the paperclip into the hole of a PIN and push gently but firmly keeping it perpendicular to the front of the player.

    I think you get some success on one of these methods. The last one is usually reserved for out a totally defective CD/DVD disc.

    You use the device-width as in

    @media screen alone

    and (min-device-width: 768px)
    and (max-device-width: 1024px)
    and (orientation: landscape)

    Device-width returns to the screen (for example, 1024 to 1024 x 768) resolution, whereas the width refers to the width of the browser itself (which will be different from the resolution if the browser is not maximized). If your resolution is big enough to put you in a breaking point, but the width of the browser is small enough to enter another, you end up with a strange combination of the two.

    Unless you have a legitimate reason to restrict style sheets, based on the resolution and not the size of the window, then just use min-width/max-width and avoid the min-device-width/max-device-width.
