Microsoft Visual Studio – Wikipedia

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/09

Like there was never an Office 13.0, there was no Visual Studio 13.0: see the below table from Microsoft Visual Studio – Wikipedia: History

This influences tooling that searches for specific versions of Visual Studio or MSBuild (which has been available since Visual Studio 8.0 and up: MSBuild – Wikipedia: History).

VMFS metadata files

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/09

For my own ference:

disk space under VMFS-3 is organized according to four resource types. They are : blocks, sub-blocks, pointer blocks, and file descriptors. Resources are grouped into clusters, which form cluster groups. Every resource type is administered by one or a number of system files. Lets have a look at what those abbreviated file names stand for:

  • fbb.sf = file block bitmap.sf
  • fdc.sf = file descriptor cluster.sf
  • pbc.sf = pointer block cluster.sf
  • sbc.sf = sub-block cluster.sf
  • vh.sf = volume header.sfs
  • dd.sf = scsi device description.sf

The VMFS-5 uses one more system file:

  • pb2.sf = pointer block 2.sf
