I can see everything in ESXishare, but not what is put in
storage/ESXishare/machine1
If I do the following
# mkdir /storage/ESXishare/machine2
Then copy through vsphere a machine to that folder i can see all files and
data in /storage/ESXishare/machine2
But still everything under machine1 is missing.
Or is it that the files are in ESXishare but masked by the machine1 mount.
One more thing.
I use thin provisioning.
But if i use cp to copy files they grow to the actual size.
How do i overcome that?
Regards
Johan
