Hi,
I moved a VM from one host to another and also choosed to make the disk thin instead of thick.
I run the sdelete command on the Windows server and then vmkfstools -K to punch out zeros.
Now in the datastore browser the size is 40GB but when i list it on the ESXi shell it shows as 160GB.
How big is it in reality?
