home: http://glandium.org/projects/vmfs-tools/

• vmfs-tools – supports VMFS 3 (ESXi 3.x, 4x) andVMFS 5 (ESXi 5.x)
• vmfs6-tools – VMFS 6 (used by default in modern versions of ESXi since vSphere 6.5)

Version:

0.2.5 => VMFS v5

Install:

apt-get install vmfs-tools

Usage:

mkdir /mnt/vmfs

vmfs-fuse /dev/sdc1 /mnt/vmfs

check

mount

/dev/fuse on /mnt/vmfs type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions)

P.S.

** ESXi 5 uses VMFS v5 with GPT

所以要用 "parted -l" 去看 partition table
