hi everyone,
I made a nice script that reports OS disk usage for certain vm's which is working just fine, except for machines that have xfs filesystem, as I found out for our RHEL7 systems where xfs is the default filesystem. I added a new partition and formatted that as ext3 on one of them and for this one it reports disk usage fine - so apparently the API cannot handle xfs.
code snippet:
| my $vm = Vim::find_entity_view( |
view_type => "VirtualMachine",
filter => { 'name' => $vm_name },
);
my @disks = $vm->guest->disk;
| while (exists $disks[0]->[$i]) { |
| | my $capacity = $disks[0]->[$i]->capacity; |
| | my $freeSpace = $disks[0]->[$i]->freeSpace; |
| | $total_used+= $capacity - $freeSpace; |
| | $i++; |
| | } |
for any xfs filesystem there is simply no entry in the returned list of disks in guest->disk.
anyone a suggestion if there is a workaround to this or if xfs will be supported in a future API version?
regards
Mirco
