ResolutionThis issue is resolved in ESXi 5.5 Patch Release ESXi550-201505002. For more information, see VMware ESXi 5.5, Patch Release ESXi550-201505002 (2114245).

To work around this issue, you must disable LibAIO coalesce Read and Write.

To disable LibAIO coalesce Read and Write:

Run this command on the affected ESXi host to verify current settings for coalesce Read and Write:

esxcfg-advcfg -g /FDS/FDSEnableCoalesceWritesesxcfg-advcfg -g /FDS/FDSEnableCoalesceReads

Note: Value 1 indicates Enabled and value 0 indicates Disabled.

If you see the value 1, run this command on the ESXi host to disable the setting:

esxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /FDS/FDSEnableCoalesceWritesesxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /FDS/FDSEnableCoalesceReads

Note: Changes to these advanced parameters can be changed in a live system and they are persistent.
