On ESXi 6.7 vmfs-6.
The command "esxcli storage vmfs snapshot list" is showing me a datastore that I cannot find in any vmfs partition. Where would it be finding this datastore?
My understanding is that vmfs finds datastores by scanning all the disks - by looking in the partition table for partitions of type vmfs, and then looking for metadata in these partitions. The first extent is supposed to contain the name of the datastore and the list of disk:partitions on which the extents exist.
My problem is that the command show me a datastore that is not present in the meta-data of any of the vmfs partitions. I'd like to find out where it is finding this datastore.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
