We have a FAS3140 with a 3 TB volume with 3 1TB LUN's in the volume. The LUN and volume are thin provisioned with space savings being pushed back into the aggr. I sent my ESX admin a DF on his volume because he said he is running low on space. Why is ESX reporting that he only has a 200 GB in the datastore to create additional VMDK but the array is reporting 1831 GB? ESX server is 4.0 and they use thick VMDKs?
