roam.psg.com:/etc# fstat | awk '/var/ {print $2, $3, $6}' | grep vmware
vmware 845 16
vmware 844 16
vmware 841 16
roam.psg.com:/etc# find /var -inum 16
/var/spool/exim/log/main.02.gz
i.e. it tells me vmware has a two day old compressed mail transfer agent
(exim) log file open. has to be bogus.
of course, if i exit vmware the space is returned.
