Weird locker folder problem results in Fatal error: 33 (inconsistent data) when trying to remediate host

Hi All

I am having trouble remediating a host (a node in a vSAN cluster) running on 6.0.0, 5572656 (ESXi 6.0 Update 3a) with some updates but upon reboot ESXI fails to load with:

Error Loading /s.v00

Fatal error: 33 (inconsistent data)

If I do a cold reboot, the host successfully boots back into the hypervisor but the updates have not been applied.

I also got an error earlier today on this host:

The host returns esxupdate error code:15 (This seemed to sort itselft out)

I have a ticket with VMWare but it’s been open over a week and they haven’t been particularly helpful so far.

If I run: cd /vmfs/volumes

find / -name locker

The command takes ages and then eventually returns the image below

Navigating through the directories - ls /locker/packages/6.0.0/floppies

It seems to loop back to the locker folder contents. It looks like some weird symbolic link issue but I really don’t know how to fix it or if im on the right lines.

The host and VMS otherwise run perfectly and I don’t have any other issues. I have run df -h and there is plenty of disk space. Any help would be massively appreciated!
