Had a power failure and now one my datastores shows a block size of -13961296 instead of 100MB.
Would to no how this happened and how to fix it.
What version of ESX are you using?? Even a 100MB block size is not valid. In vSphere 4.X, only block sizes avaialble are 1, ,2 4 and 8MB and in vSphere 5, there is only 1 block size of 1 MB. can you attach logs??
Version 4.1, and it is 1MB block size.
Have you tried rescanning your datastores??
Yes
Are you connected to vCenter Server when you see this odd block size? If yes, is it the same when you connect the vSphere Client directly to the host?
If it is the same when connected to a host directly, then it might be an issue with the VMFS file system and you should consider to immediately open a call with VMware and/or run backups to minimize the risk of data loss.
