VMFS5 is used by vSphere 5.x. Notably, it raises the extent limit to 64 TB and the file size limit to 62 TB, [2] though vSphere versions earlier than 5.5 are limited to VMDKs smaller than 2 TB. [4] VMFS6 is used by vSphere 6.5. It supports 512 emulation (512e) mode drives. [5] VMFS-L is the underlying file system for VSAN-1.0.
