Resolution

  • On the vCenter adapter settings,  which host those target virtual machines, edit the settings.
  • Go to Advanced settings, search for the field  "Deactivate collecting Guest File Systems with names containing", which will deactivate collecting guest file systems with names containing a mount partition. 

  • Save the adapter instance.
  • Review Configuration|Hardware|Disk Space (GB) metrics for VMs for that target object.
