Hello caksurut,

unfortunately I can't help you and this forum here contains discussions for using the product "VMware Studio" not ESX itself..

I believe a better place for your question would be here:

http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vsphere/esx?view=discussions

Welcome to the community.

The thread has been moved to ESX area (and duplicated thread has been removed).

How do you copy the files?

Are you sure that you are in the VMFS partition ?

thanks for reply,

im copy using share folder in /vmfs/volumes/VM/share.

VM = my datastore.

share = my samba share.

i was copy around 500GB before but i wanna to copy more to that folder that error was come out.

i tried copy using SCP n normal copy windows share.

[AndreTheGiant]

Sure that you have a 8M block size?

By default you have a 1MB block size. Check the property from the vSphere Client.

Are you copying a vmdk with a size bigger than 500GB?

here i'm attach my storage block.

407G    share : i'm copied my data to that folder before.

im create samba share folder. for my backup data/ others thing i can use.

http://communities.vmware.com/message/1328338

i can copy or create folder in my datastore anymore after that.

from that attchment it free 823.90GB more. It can't use.

[AndreTheGiant]

Block size is correct.

What I do not understand is when you talk about share?

Are you copying a vmdk with inside the files of a file server, or are you copying the content of a share (aka a lot of files)?

Andre

[caksurut]

yes andre i use for alot of data because that server my backup data.

im create samba share like http://communities.vmware.com/message/1328338.

i was copy 407 GB in share folder from samba share. I want to put more data from free space in that server but that error come out.

[AndreTheGiant]

You cannot create a samba share on ESX.

You must first create a VM (Linux or Windows) and then copy the data in this VM.
