Description
With ESXi 5.0 VMware now places the snapshot files in the directory that contains the .vmdk disk file and not the directory that contains the .vmx file as the previous versions of ESX(i) did in the past. With that being the case instead of just the datastore containing the .vmx file being filled up by open snapshots now any of the datastores containing a VM disk can get filled up by a open snapshot which can bring down a VM because one of the VMs datastore can't be updated.
