This article showed up in my RSS feeds; it’s a fairly in-depth look at the ESX Server I/O stack, written by Nick Triantos. Nick is with Network Appliance; I believe in their Global Services division. I’ve bookmarked it for a more comprehensive review later, when I can really dedicate myself to the information he’s sharing here.
As an aside, Nick’s blog recently moved; he used to be here, but now can be found here instead.
Great information—thanks, Nick!

Hi Vincent
Need some inputs on the following contexts. I’m having HP DL360G5 server with 500 GB of internal harddisk storage space,with VMWare ESX 3.0.1 and have configured 5 VMs. Recently i removed one VM,as it was not required. The situation now is the disk space of the removed VM is not reflecting the free space of data store.
Need some inputs and your views to solve this issue.
Thanks
regards

thanks regards,
