Hi,
I have a problem with my ESXi 5.5 U1 because my server crash scored in vmkernel.log I metadata errors by which I can not run any virtual machine.
Is there a tool that will allow the like fsck for VMFS-5 to scan for errors and fix them?
The following log of ESXi.
ls -la

Best Regards.
I would suggest to try extracting the vmdks with the help of a Linux LiveCD using vmfs-fuse.
I considered it but more as a last resort.
Is there a way to scan and fix VMFS datastore?
I do not see 4 TB of data and unpack now so the more that some files can not see and I can not unpack.
vmfs-fuse not working properly.
Output ls -l in folder with VM file size instead of showing me "??????"
