I think you'll find vmware suggest you don't do that for just this reason.... The best way I've found is to allow VMWare to control the drive. Share it out using your vm, over the local host (or bridged) network. Then mount the share with samba and everything works well from there.... Rik.

I have a single fat32 drive mounted as follows: /dev/hda5 /data vfat auto,user,umask=000 0 0
I also have this same drive mounted into a vmware virtual windows2000 environment.
When I add a directory or file in linux, I can not see that file until I restart the vm. Same the other way around, if I add a file or directory to the vm win2k, I can't see it on the linux side until I reboot linux.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ron
