Instead, take a deep breath and follow the steps below. SSH into your ESXi host and run:
First, find the disk size in sectors:
esxcli storage vmfs snapshot list Then mount manually: data recovery vmfs partition

vmkfstools -V Or find the partition device ID: data recovery vmfs partition
partedUtil set /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6000c29... 1 "2048 4294967295 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 0" Then reload the partition table:
partedUtil get /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6000c29... A healthy VMFS partition looks like: 1 2048 4294967294 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 0
