I'd rather not do that, as performance does suffer to a degree, and Linux is my primary environment, not my secondary one.  Further, you then add a layer of complexity with VMware tools and kernel updates and recompiling (assuming the VMware tools will even recompile on the latest Fedora kernel..).... no thank you.  I much prefer to keep my primary environment as Linux and boot into OS X when I need to do audio production.  I rarely do 'normal' things when I'm doing audio production anyway, so it works for me quite well, and I get full native performance under Linux for the things I do there (which includes GNUradio with a USRP, which doesn't work well in a VM, partly because VMware and accurate timekeeping are at odds with each other).

Yes; that's HGFS, and it works ok, but has its quirks.

That doesn't help in terms of the storage where the vmdk disk images are located.
