ESXi installed to USB flash drive - what happens to the remaining space?

[Faize]

ESXi only requires 1 GB of the flash drive, so I'm wondering if the remaining space could be used for other purposes - e.g. to store log files or something? Or does ESXi reserve the rest of the space?

The remaining space remains unused. VMFS volumes as well as the scratch location require "fast" storage.
