Hi,
How can I try to remount a failed mount lsfs lun?
I don't see an option to try again, or do a repair on the lun to see what cause it.
After a little search, I found the problem or cause,
I created a 800GB LSFS LUN on my drive E: in a directory call VMDisk, then I format it from ESXI as VMFS5, the file size of that directory at that time was 80GB with about 9 .spspx files, I have then put one VM on it, this VM is using a 80GB HD. I was using the previous version of iSCSI-SAN v8.0.6345. I then installed v8.0.6383. At this time I did not check to see what the problem was, but now after restarting my SAN, and see that it still failed to mount.
I check my Drive E: to found that I was running out of disk space, ??????????????????????????, impossible I say, because I should have 2TB Free.
I did not see any new files on my E: drive until I look inside the VMDisk directory, that's the directory that has the failed LUN, anyway is has 735 .spspx files and was 1.8TB in size.
WTF, HOW, WHY, !!!!!
So I knew that it had only 9 spspx files so I deleted the others, since there is no way to do a repair or re-mount, I restarted my SAN.
All those files I deleted came right back.
How can a 800GB non-dedup LUN, use up 1.8TB of disk space?
Is there a way to recover this LUN, so that I can get access to the VM and copy it to another LUN or disk?
