hi i notice two issues since a longer time on VMware Workstation (host and guest fedora 16) * vmware-toolbox-cmd disk shrink /home it prepares only the given mountpoint (zerofill) but it alaways acts on ALL virtual disks like "vmware-vdiskmanager -k disk.vmdk" would do what is useless on non-prepared disks and a problem if one of them is really large and you did not like shrink this one * [root@testserver:/data]$ vmware-toolbox-cmd disk shrink / Die Partition / kann nicht verkleinert werden means in english something like "this partition can not be shriked" i can remember times where it was no problem to shrink the root-fs may it be that this issue has somehting to do with the braindead mount-output on recent kernels in case of bin-mounts and that the rootfs appears two times? rootfs rootfs 12G 4,9G 6,9G 42% / /dev/sdg1 ext4 12G 4,9G 6,9G 42% / |

first thank you for your feedback feels good to see vmware-people giving direct feedback besides non-tech support channels!

You can ether backport it yourself from the mainline or fetch a version that builds on multitude of kernels from the official VMware Tools package you get with the platform. Thanks, Dmitry |

Category: misc Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: nosebleedkt (nosebleedkt) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: open-vm-tools cannot compile against Glibc >2.14 and TI-RPC Initial Comment: Hello everybody ! Well my system is a linux-2.6.35.14 / gcc 4.7.0 / Glibc 2.14.1 / TI-RPC 0.2.2 Inside source tree I type: open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/# ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu --without-gtk2 Everything OK. Then I type make. After a while I get multiple 'undefined reference to xdr...' This is normal as open-vm-tools think that RPC implementation is still in Glibc project. However, after Glibc >2.14 the RPC implementation has been removed and it is now in a another project called TI-RPC which resided on http://nfsv4.bullopensource.org/doc/tirpc_rpcbind.php . Me going one level further, I run ./configure LIBS="-ltirpc" --prefix=/usr --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu --without-gtk2 Now, open-vm-tools know where to find the xdr references so things get a lot better. But still, 'make' exits with just one error: lib/include/vmxrpc.h:190: undefined reference to xdr_uint32_t. So, I kindly ask the developers to make open-vm-tools compile against TI-RPC. Thanks :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: nosebleedkt (nosebleedkt) Date: 2012-05-06 23:43 Message: Hello dtor !

Category: misc Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: nosebleedkt (nosebleedkt) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: open-vm-tools cannot compile against Glibc >2.14 and TI-RPC Initial Comment: Hello everybody ! Well my system is a linux-2.6.35.14 / gcc 4.7.0 / Glibc 2.14.1 / TI-RPC 0.2.2 Inside source tree I type: open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/# ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu --without-gtk2 Everything OK. Then I type make. After a while I get multiple 'undefined reference to xdr...' This is normal as open-vm-tools think that RPC implementation is still in Glibc project. However, after Glibc >2.14 the RPC implementation has been removed and it is now in a another project called TI-RPC which resided on http://nfsv4.bullopensource.org/doc/tirpc_rpcbind.php . Me going one level further, I run ./configure LIBS="-ltirpc" --prefix=/usr --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu --without-gtk2 Now, open-vm-tools know where to find the xdr references so things get a lot better. But still, 'make' exits with just one error: lib/include/vmxrpc.h:190: undefined reference to xdr_uint32_t. So, I kindly ask the developers to make open-vm-tools compile against TI-RPC.

Category: misc Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: nosebleedkt (nosebleedkt) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: open-vm-tools cannot compile against Glibc >2.14 and TI-RPC Initial Comment: Hello everybody ! Well my system is a linux-2.6.35.14 / gcc 4.7.0 / Glibc 2.14.1 / TI-RPC 0.2.2 Inside source tree I type: open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/# ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu --without-gtk2 Everything OK. Then I type make. After a while I get multiple 'undefined reference to xdr...' This is normal as open-vm-tools think that RPC implementation is still in Glibc project. However, after Glibc >2.14 the RPC implementation has been removed and it is now in a another project called TI-RPC which resided on http://nfsv4.bullopensource.org/doc/tirpc_rpcbind.php . Me going one level further, I run ./configure LIBS="-ltirpc" --prefix=/usr --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu --without-gtk2 Now, open-vm-tools know where to find the xdr references so things get a lot better. But still, 'make' exits with just one error: lib/include/vmxrpc.h:190: undefined reference to xdr_uint32_t. So, I kindly ask the developers to make open-vm-tools compile against TI-RPC. Thanks :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Dmitry Torokhov (dtor) Date: 2012-05-04 10:12 Message: Could you please tell me what distribution this is? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: nosebleedkt (nosebleedkt) Date: 2012-05-04 06:58 Message: Well, I found a workaround until a proper update is done in the official sources. Comment out the 3 defines at the beggining of lib/include/vmxrpc.h . Then run configure with LIBS="-ltirpc" CFLAGS="-Wno-implicit-function-declaration" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: nosebleedkt (nosebleedkt) Date: 2012-05-03 05:11 Message: In addition, running #strings /lib/libtirpc.so | grep xdr_u_int32_t returns me xdr_u_int32_t . That's weird. And the complete error from 'make' is ../lib/guestRpc/.libs/libGuestRpc.a(nicinfo_xdr.o): In function `xdr_uint32': /root/open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/lib/include/vmxrpc.h:190: undefined reference to `xdr_uint32_t' /root/open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/lib/include/vmxrpc.h:190: undefined reference to `xdr_uint32_t' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [libvmtools.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/libvmtools' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=3523224&group_id=204462 |
