| Command | Purpose | |---------|---------| | vmfs-fuse | Mount a VMFS partition via FUSE (user-space) for read-only access | | vmfsfsck | Check and validate VMFS filesystem metadata (read-only) | | vmfsrestore | Experimental tool to copy files from VMFS to another location | It stands for Virtual Machine File System

| Error | Likely Cause | Solution | |-------|--------------|----------| | Invalid VMFS filesystem | Wrong partition or unsupported VMFS version | Verify partition type.
