  • Comment: Symlink in Linux guest

    I've tried the Windows NFS servers and can give some comments about using them to build projects over. My test have been to checkout and build vlc and firefox from Debian/Ubuntu nfs-common. Microsoft Server for NFS (3.5, 2003-11-08) Not tested I've not figured out how to run it in Windows 7 x64. nfssvc.exe and pcnfsd.exe exit silently shortly after they are run. It could be because of a...

    Thanks I will try that out. I know Windows have their own services for Unix which I have briefly tried in the past but not recently.

    As a workaround I'm using NFS to access the Windows host. (Allegro is the best Windows NFS server as it supports symlinks and locks and is open source.) It's important for me to be able to store all data on the host since my files are better organized that way.

    It requires new code to be implemented in the vmware-vmx for the HGFS server side in the Windows platform specific code. Steve.

    Can it be patched in modules/linux/vmhgfs/inode.c:Hgfs*Symlink* or does it also require a patch for vmware-vmx.exe?.

    Hi John, Currently for Windows hosts symlinks are not supported. We currently don't have plans to add it either. Only supported on Linux/OS X hosts. Sorry. Steve.

    The share is mounted with mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/hgfs.

  • Symlink in Linux guest

    Which guests support symlinks in a Windows 7 VMware Workstation host NTFS share? This artifact https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2531303&group_id=204462&atid=989708 seems to say that Gentoo guests support "ln -s". In Ubuntu the operation cd /mnt/hgfs/shared; touch foo; ln -snf foo fum return ln: failed to create symbolic link `fum'...
