    Michael,
    
    The way I read it, it looks like "Thin" could work.
    
    As long as AstLinux sees the max-size during initial-setup, formats 
partitions and such ... if ESXi can optimize the virtual storage, then it 
should still work.  Though I'm not sure how they are doing this.
    
    Give it a try and report back.
