Consumed local disk space in VSAN

Hi

how can i see local HDD's used space in VSAN?

i have a problem, my VSAN has really no files on it,but about 10% of it's space is consumed in summary tab of webclient. i deleted every thing on it through web client.

i tried  "esxcfg-scsidevs -c" command to see devices info in ESXi, but it does not show used space on disks.

i disabled and re-enabled VSAN but problem exists anymore.

thanks for your help

There may be stranded objects left on the datastore that are no longer associated with a VM.

Rather than hunting them down via RVC commands, simply delete and recreate your disk groups (only because you have no data on them anyway)

Details on expected overhead can be found on page 33 of http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsan/VSAN_Design_and_Sizing_Guide.pdf
