Hello Everybody,
While installing boxes on ESXI 5.5 virtual platform I have come across the following problem. I am running out of the space in the datastore1 in despite the fact my boxes use relatively low level of the VMware resources. However I noticed in the datastore1 folder some hidden files exploiting huge amount of them:
-r-------- 1 root root 3014656 .fbb.sf
-r-------- 1 root root 267026432 .fdc.sf
-r-------- 1 root root 1179648 .pb2.sf
-r-------- 1 root root 268435456 .pbc.sf
-r-------- 1 root root 262733824 .sbc.sf
-r-------- 1 root root 4194304 .vh.sf
I would like to about nature of these files? Is it possible to remove them without negative impact on the esxi performance in the same time keeping the existing boxes? Or just maybe it would be better to remove the whole datastore1 with its all content? If it is the case what would be the most appropriate way to do that?
Thank you in advance and cheers!
