Not possible to resize /var/log on vSphere 4 Host
Posted on July 1st, 2009 in Virtualization, vSphere | 2 Comments »
As my previous experienced, if you having a disk space full on /var, the host server will getting an error message such as “A general error occured : Failed to create journal File provider” when creating a new virtual machine. I had my test machine setup as default configuration, which the /var/log only allocated for 2GB in place. Prior to move the system to production, I decide to extend the /var/log from 2GB to 10GB as our current standard. Here come to the idea that I try to extend, unmount and remount as I usually did on the Linux.
