當VMware vSphere 6.5發佈後,針對VMFS-6使用了2個Block來存放虛擬機VMDK文件,1MB的小文件塊(SFB)和 512MB的大文件塊(LFB)
當使用精簡格式(thin provisioned)時,初始使用1MB Block;當使用厚置備(Thick provisioned)格式時,則儘可量使用512MB Block。
(Thin disks created on VMFS-6 are initially backed with SFBs. Thick disks created on VMFS-6 are allocated LFBs as much as possible. For the portion of the thick disk which does not fit into an LFB,SFBs are allocated.)
在ESXi上使用命令 vmkfstools -P -v10 可以看到LFB使用情況:
