I have a few ESXi 6.7 servers with only SD cards as storage. ESXi boots from the SD card. Because the SD card is only 16GB, I am trying to find out where I can find space to store the ESXi 7 zip file for upgrade. When I do df, it does not show where the root and other local partitions mount points are. In fact, they are all missing from the df output. There are only 3 vfat partitions with very small size ~250MB but where does the rest of 16GB SD card go?
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
vfat 249.7M 4.0K 249.7M 0% /vmfs/volumes/cffaf9e5-2135ee09-0a3a-41e2491ef5d3
vfat 249.7M 168.2M 81.6M 67% /vmfs/volumes/0c6844ec-10b0f4df-630e-e05835375756
vfat 285.8M 181.7M 104.1M 64% /vmfs/volumes/5942cc9c-8a5f5bac-b27c-000af7aabd3c
"esxcli system coredump partition list" shows there is a VMware Diagnostics partition but it does not look like it's mounted in df output? I am just puzzled by the df output and ESXi 6.7 does not follow the typical Linux command outputs. Any ideas? Thanks.
