quiescing the guest file system creating two snapshot files

$

Why would or should quiescing the guest file system create two snapshot files.

 

In our environment we have the following vmdks.

 

Syntest.vmdk

Syntest_1.vmdk

Syntest_2.vmdk

Syntest_3.vmdk

Syntest_4.vmdk

 

When I create a snapshot that quiesces the guest file system it creates both syntest_1-000001.vmdk and syntest_1.000002.vmdk (as well as all the associated files for snapshots).  Here is a screen shot.

Why and is there anything wrong?   I can find a ton of articles about snapshots but nothing that mentions this.

 

We are currently on ESXi 5.1.0,1157734. 

 

Thank you

 

Mike
