Hi,
I have installed ESXi 4.0 on a 2GB flash card on and HP G6 with default settings and want to know how can i check how much space is left on the flash card for esxi updates before i update?
Thanks!
Enable SSH access (http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/08/10/howto-esxi-and-ssh/)
Then you can use:
fdisk -l (to see the partitions)
vdf -h (to see partitions usage)

yo the man! thanks dude!
One of the most important thing to remember when you install to flash is to configure a scratch location on a datastore. Configuration Tab / Software /Advanced Settings. If you do not create the scratch location ESXi will use a RAM disk. Updates will fail.
Also ESXi will not use more than 1GB of the flash drive.
