Corrupt vmkernel.log after disk dailures

[jrmunday]

Hi All,

Is it possible to re-create the vmkernel.log as I appear to have some form of corruption after two disks in the same local RAID-5 array set failed.

Here is an example of what I see now;

~ # tail /var/log/vmkernel.log

tail: read error: No such file or directory
