I will look into vmfs utilities. Thanks for your suggestion. It's a miracle that this happened before going into production. Luckily I could restore the mail server (zimbra network edition) without loosing a single message. Thanks again Richard On 8 sep 2008, at 15:09, Jason Litka wrote: Does ESXi provide a way to scan a LUN for a damaged file system? If you saw a significant decrease in performance it could be that there was something wrong with VMFS. Jason Litka | Xoxide, Inc.

I setup an Openfiler ISCSI target, with file io and and writeback cache. I am connecting 1 ESXi host , and 5 vm's were hosted on the ISCSI volume. Today I noticed a dramatic slow down in disk speed. The esxi host was getting 13 mb/s (it used to be 120 mb/s) with hdparm. This happened with both local and ISCSI storage. Therefore I stopped the vm's and rebooted. Upon reboot , the vmfs volume on the iscsi LUN is not longer recognized by ESXi. The ISCSI session is initiated, the target is recognized, but the vmfs volume doesn't mount. Any idea how to go further Thanks in advance _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
