Deleting an FCD file backing can create an orphan FCD. An orphaned ID is returned by the ListVStorageObject API, but calling RetrieveVStorageObject with an orphan ID results in a NotFound fault. The disk.ls command would return an error and suggest: use 'disk.ls -R' to reconcile datastore inventory The -R flag calls ReconcileDatastoreInventory, which normally cleans up such orphans, but we have seen cases where it does not.
This change ignores orphans by default. The new '-a' flag will list all orphans (if any) and includes the disk.ls -R suggestion.
Fixes #3639
