Hi, Yesterday, I've installed open-vm-tools from FreeBSD ports and now I'm trying to do something useful with vmblock filesystem.
For Linux there are good examples how to test vmblock from shell but before one can do it, that filesystem needs to be mounted (``mount -t vmblock none /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint'' -- everyone knows this). But in FreeBSD we haven't /proc/fs. I've looked into modules/freebsd/vmblock/* source files (in open-vm-tools tarball) and discovered that for FreeBSD the actual temporal space for files is equal to Linux location == /tmp/VMwareDnD; mount point is different and intended to be /var/run/vmblock. OK, but commands like this doesn't help: # kldstat | grep vmblock 7 1 0xc1ddc000 5000 vmblock.ko # lsvfs | grep vmblock vmblock 0 loopback # ls -ld /tmp/VMwareDnD drwxrwxrwt 3 root wheel 512 Jan 9 18:04 /tmp/VMwareDnD # mkdir /var/run/vmblock # mount /tmp/VMwareDnD /var/run/vmblock mount: /tmp/VMwareDnD : Block device required Exit 1 # mount -t vmblock /tmp/VMwareDnD/vmblock mount: /tmp/VMwareDnD : Invalid argument Exit 1 So, can anybody give me an example how to properly mount vmblock fs in FreeBSD? Thanks in advance. PS Sorry for my terrible English. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
