The vmware article doesn't talk about a patch vmware, they say "This Linux kernel bug has been fixed in different updates of different Linux distributions. Not all kernel versions include the patch. Contact your Linux Distributor for more information."
This is from Comment #0: | In this blog, a computer student has published a patch for kernel 2.6.39, but | I'm using the 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop version, and I prefer a released fix of | opensuse: | http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/2011/05/14/running-vmware-workstation... That blog entry currently has a vmware patch for 2.6.39. The other links supplied in Comment #0 point to patches that already exist in openSUSE 11.4.
The underlying O/S didn't had problems when the Guest-VM filesystem got in read-only mode, and the others guest-vm on the same server were running normally, included an Opensuse 11.3 VM
The underlying OS is supplying storage to the VM. If a request to that storage takes a little too long (as defined by the Guest OS), then the filesystem can get an error, in which case it remounts that filesystem as read-only. That does not mean the Host OS would notice any problem. Have you tried my request from Comment #7? In the mean time, I will try loading openSUSE 11.4 as a Guest VM on my OS X host, but I do not have any windows host with RAID to duplicate your configuration. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
