Thin Provisioning does not work or unable to find space?

Hello

I have about 30 virtual machines using thin provisioning format. I found 1 especially with a 20 GB drive, TYPE THIN and 19.9 GB used. I entered in the console, check use of space inside the linux and it has 90% free. It uses only 2 GB.

My question is why not taking advantage of the thin provisiong as other virtual machines. Any ideas?

Fill the empty space with zero and do svmotion with thin disk as target, it should reclaim the unused space.

It's how recover you for example 10 gigabytes of Linux root fs

DD if = / dev/zero/foo bs = 10240 count = 1 M

RM foo

then svmotion

  • Eraser 6 does not work on my unused disk space. It is said that it doesn't have the necessary permissions

    Gum does not work on my unused disk space. It is said that it doesn't have the required permissions. I tried running as admin as troubleshooting told me, but it still does not work? What I am doing wrong.

    The reason why it is not working is that even if you close the gum and reopen it as a Director he is still a running process (which was not stop when you closed the gum) in the background without administrator rights.

    The solution is to ctrl-alt - del-> windows-> processes Task Manager.

    Kill the process called 'eraser.exe', and then you restart gum as an administrator.

    Thus, the background process will win also rights administrator.

    It worked for me :)

  • Thin Provisioning does not not as expected

    In my esxi 4.0 test environment, I created a machine thin-provision xp-32 bit.

    Provisioning was assigned to 50 GB and is a minimal install of XP (just the operating system, patches, vmware tools) leaving 44.7 GB free.

    The flat file hower, looks like she is supplied thickness.

    I searched every thread here and see no similar problem.

    Hello hamm3r,.

    It is normal that you feel. A directory of the regular list will show 50 GB. You need to do a query (use of the drive/directory) with the following:

    -ah *.

    Which should show the actual size of the vmdk file. You can also watch free space of your data store in the VI client to check that it lines up with your expectations. I hope this helps.

    Don't forget to mark this "correct" answer or 'useful', if you found it useful (you'll also points).

  • Find missing files does not work - what don't get me?

    I have had my photos stored on an external hard drive and upgraded to a bigger external drive. My husband has copied the files to the new drive. Now I can't access photos on the drive. I followed the steps to update the location of the pictures, but it does not work. I tried "find lack of pictures" and that does not work either. I follow the steps, but nothing happens.

    What I am doing wrong? I suspect, I'm missing a simple step, but I tried several times with both drives. I restarted LR. I restarted the computer. Nothing makes no difference.

    Thanks for any help or someone can give advice.

    Hi nannetter,

    Please connect the new external drive that contains all of the images, now open Lightroom and on the Library tab, update the location of the folder.

    See the link below.

  • Update error Code 8024200B & unable to update Wireless Keyboard 800 - keyboard does not work

    I have win7 pro 32-bit. Some updates fail.
    Currently updates for keyboard and mouse USB MS they return the error Code 8024200 B, for which I am unable to find an explanation.
    It is a problem that I bought a Wireless Desktop 800, and the keyboard does not work.
    I tested the material on my Win7 32 bit system and it works fine.
    The device is detected and enabled, etc. of thin batteries
    There is no drivers for 800 system, so I was hoping that the update would solve the problem, if I could install it.
    Any ideas on the error code, or how to solve the problem of keyboard?
    Thank you
    * Problem solved. These updates succeeded at the 5th attempt - and I was able to install 'Microsoft mouse & keyboard Centre' that got my keyboard working *.
    * I'll leave the rest of my response below in case it would be useful to all. **

    Thanks for the reply Fazil.

    1. There is no way to 'connect' from the keyboard to the computer. I insert the usb bluetooth dongle and it works for the mouse but not the keyboard.
    2. the updates are the two option, without numbers KB:
    -Other hardware - Microsoft Hardware Microsoft USB keyboard
    Mouse Microsoft USB - other hardware - Microsoft Hardware
    3 update error message for both simply put the Code 8024200 B. There seems to be no documentation for this error code.
    All security updates I ran & updated ok.
    I tried various things - stop programs anti-virus etc.
    4. This is the first time I tried to run the mouse wireless 800 & keyboard on this PC. I checked on my other laptop running exactly the same OS and that's fine, this isn't a hardware problem.
    I tried fixit, who found nothing wrong.
    In Device Manager, it shows the two devices (keyboard and mouse) twice, as on the other laptop.
    Bluetooth > open settings Options are set to "enabled" and in the material it shows "HP Integrated Bluetooth Module" and "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator.
