lost access to local datastore

[Solfoit1]

Hello,

I have seem to lost access to my local vmfs partition.

my partition table is:

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500102594560 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60800 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux

/dev/sda2 14 650 5116702+ 83 Linux

/dev/sda3 651 60464 480455955 fb Unknown

/dev/sda4 60465 60800 2698920 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)

/dev/sda5 60788 60800 104391 fc Unknown

/dev/sda6 60465 60533 554179+ 82 Linux swap

/dev/sda7 60534 60787 2040223+ 83 Linux

i have also an datastore located on a nfs volume but if i look in the /vmfs/volumes directory, i see both datastores but the storage1 datastore is in red with white letters. And an error message that the directory of file does not exists.

# ls -l /vmfs/volumes/

ls: /vmfs/volumes/481e4e75-32e80152-7d9f-000423bb37aa: No such file or directory

total 16

drwxrwxrwx 1 1008 nfsnobody 16384 May 14 21:03 1719d682-7f6ac786

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17 Jun 8 13:54 esxnfs -> 1719d682-7f6ac786

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35 Jun 8 13:54 storage1 -> 481e4e75-32e80152-7d9f-000423bb37aa

Does anyone have an idee?

With kind regards,

Ruud

Not that it helps much but my best suggestion is if in the VI Client the volume still exists and you can still not see it from the commandline would be to call VMware Support for help if you have current maintenance.

I second opening an SR with vmware.

Did the server crash/reboot? Were you performing an operation that failed or died? Have you checked your dmesg log on the server to see if it has any details?
