Reading Time: 5 minutesAs written in a previous post, some months ago, I’ve started a huge personal project that consumes all my spare free time. This project was a new book on VMware vSphere 6.5, really ambitious considering that will be a “Mastering” book, but the title and part of the content were not negotiable with the editor. Finally, the book Mastering VMware vSphere 6.5 is done and it’s now available on Packt site (and in the future also on Amazon).

Reading Time: 3 minutesIn the VMware ESXi 6.x partitions layout, usually, there is a partition called “scratch” that hosts the log, the updates, and other temporal files. Scratch space is configured automatically during installation or first boot of an ESXi host and is not required to be manually configured.
