Thanks for the feedback Ed. Fedora's version does not have vmhgfs driver and therefore it does not work out of box. We are aware of this and hopefully have a solution in future. Now that Anaconda has platform detection logic, default installation will be fixed soon. Please send across any more feedback you may have about open-vm-tools on our mailing lists: http://sourceforge.net/p/open-vm-tools/mailman/. Thanks, Ravindra From: cloud-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:cloud-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of M. Edward (Ed) Borasky Great - is there a *technical* (meaning non-policy) reason why Fedora's version of open-vm-tools doesn't support mounting host files in the guest? VMware does such a terrible job at tracking changes in the kernel
source that I've given up on using it. And why is open-vm-tools installed by default on Fedora Workstation on bare metal or VirtualBox or qemu-kvm guests? Sorry if I'm "shooting the messenger" here but I've just wasted a couple of days trying to make VMware Workstation work on a Fedora 21 host and Fedora 21 guests work with VMware hosts. There are two open source alternatives, one of which
is just a "yum install" away on a Fedora 21 host and which works flawlessly with all modern kernels. On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 10:51 AM, Ravindra Kumar <ravindrakumar@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
