Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: John Peterson (johnpeterson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Symlink in Linux guest Initial Comment: 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': Permission denied and if sharedFolder0.followSymlinks = "FALSE" (in .vmx) it returns ln: failed to create symbolic link `fum': Operation not supported # cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 12.04 LTS \n \l # sudo dpkg -s open-vm-tools Version: 2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu1 VMware Workstation 8.0.2 build-591240 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: John Peterson (johnpeterson) Date: 2012-05-17 17:34 Message: Can it be patched in modules/linux/vmhgfs/inode.c:Hgfs*Symlink* or does it also require a patch for vmware-vmx.exe? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Steve (lousybrit) Date: 2012-05-17 17:12 Message: 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.
