[Bug 668461] Re: 2.6.32-25 kernel breaks vmware fusion 3 shared folders

 

Joel, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  2.6.32-25 kernel breaks vmware fusion 3 shared folders

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This issue is not present in 2.6.32-24

  I run a virtual instance of Ubuntu on my OS X Snow Leopard (64-bit)
  machine. In the VMWare menu, I can enable shared folders by going to
  Virtual Machine -> Shared Folders -> Turn Shared Folders On.

  On the 2.6.32-24 kernel, this would mount my OS X home directory on
  the Ubuntu machine in /mnt/hgfs. On the 2.6.32-25 kernel, Vmware
  instead gives an "Unknown Error" and does not mount the folder.
