ESXi 4.0.x host reports incorrect visorfs usage statistics (1037361)

Details

When you run the df command to see the visorfs usage on ESXi 4.0.x hosts, the system incorrectly reports a value higher than the actual usage.  For example, in the following table, the block usage is incorrect:


Filesystem       1k-blocks       Used       Available       Use%       Mounted on
visorfs             7143816      7110056     33760             100%            /
 
The commands vdf and vdu also do not work on ESXi 4.0.x., and as a result, you cannot get the visorfs disk usage statistics.

Solution

To work around these problems, run the vmkvsitools visorfsdu -h / or esxcfg-info -r command.
