Hi,

 

I moved a VM from one host to another and also choosed to make the disk thin instead of thick.

 

I run the sdelete command on the Windows server and then vmkfstools -K to punch out zeros.

 

Now in the datastore browser the size is 40GB but when i list it on the ESXi shell it shows as 160GB.

 

How big is it in reality?

 

Datastore browser in vCenter

ls in ESXi shell
