Description
The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing. Permanent finding - Note that while links from this (and other) host directories may be links to datastores, these datastores are "typically" shared. By default, the ESXi-v5 host has one, all-inclusive, default root file system (excluding datastores).
