On my laptop, I'm running Wintendo Vista and VMWare with openSUSE 10.3 as the guest. I'm wondering - and I've googled this - how do I mount the host filesystem so I can do stuff. I want to burn a DVD with openSUSE, since there are no good tools in Windows to do this which match K3B.
Ideas?
There's no magic required... VMware Server at least includes everything you need; the tool is called "vmware-mount.pl". Here's how to invoke it:
Usage: /usr/bin/vmware-mount.pl -p : Print the partition table disk : Name of the Virtual Hard Disk file or disk : Name of the Virtual Hard Disk file partition : Number of the partition [-t type] : Partition type [-o options]: Partition mount options(s) mount-point : Directory where to mount the partition
AFAIK, you can only mount it when the corresponding virtual machine is not actively running.
HTH, cheers.

This command mounts the virtual machine as a file system in the host system right? I think what he wants is to mount some parts of the host file system in the guest system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
