VMware Tools reports only single FileSystem for Linux Guests

[muthumia]

Hi all,

I found the following problem with VMware Tools.

VMware Tools installed on Linux Guests only report a single FileSystem, even though it has more.

It always reports only /boot partition.

Following is the GuestDiskInfo[] data from our environment, where Guest has 4 partitions.

	GuestDiskInfo		Name	Type	Value
capacity	long	103512064
diskPath	string	"/boot"
dynamicProperty	DynamicProperty[]	Unset
dynamicType	string	Unset
freeSpace	long	92343296

Has anybody experience the same problem with VMware Tools?

Correct me, If i wrong.

Any immediate help will be grateful to me.

Thanks,

Karthik

The Unix based OSes such as RedHat and Solaris see the disk drive as partitions that it formatted. So, the VMwareTools reports the capacity and free space of the first partition which is the /boot partition.

Thank you for your answer.

But still it isnt solved my problem.

How will i get the list of all the other logical volumes, other than /boot?

Is there any other way to get the list?

Thanks,

Karthik
