Thanks. That'd be great if I were (a) using the command line and (b) mounting a cifs volume (which I do already with smb:\\user@domain\share What about inside VMWare? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'd like to ask the same question, but in the opposite direction. I have a Win XP client on a Linux host (actually several - one "production", one backup and one to experiment). I would like to mount the vmdk file(s) on one of these (not running clients) in much the same way that I can mount a vfat or ntfs partition. For a running client it's easy - just make the Win drives/directories sharable and SAMBA does the job.

Me too! I think there is an utility to do that, inside the vmware things, but I haven't seen the instructions for it, so I never tried. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I ended up just doing a smb://user@host_ip/c$ to map the drive in konqueror. The issue was that Windows doesn't seem to come with a good DVD burning utility and I had a backup I wanted to make. I used K3B, which worked flawlessly. (Of course, I had to copy the files over to my home folder since K3b wouldn't write from a "remote" location.)

Well, you export in the host whatever directory you want to access inside the client, using samba, ftp, http (apache)... whatever you like, using different daemon. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
