Hey continuum,
So I tried running the command you mentioned on my RHEL 5 VM
dd if=/dev/zero of=dummy-file bs=1M; rm -f dummy-file
it filled the / filesystem then deleted the dummy-file just fine
I then did a storage vmotion to a new Datastore and checked but the size still showed being used.
Does the VM need to be powered off before the storage vmotion?
Am I missing something?
should I be doing something different ??
do I need to set anything on my ESXi 6.5 server?
thanks again for all your help I really do appreciate it.
Paul.
