I have installed vmware-tools.

the shared filesystem kernel modules vmhgfs is not loaded when vmware-tools starts up. Here is what I did.

added vmware-tools to rc-udate using:

Code:

rc-update add vmware-tools default

then, i added vmhgfs to /etc/conf.d/modules

Code:

modules="vmhgfs"

I then rebooted the box. My share drive isn't there. I do a lsmod and see the vmhgfs is loaded. However, under used it is equal to 0.

I then restart vmware-tools

Code:

/etc/init.d/vmware-tools stop
/etc/init.d/vmware-tools start

Everything is now working! lsmod shows vmhgfs used equal to 1.

So here is my question? How can I ensure vmware-tools is started when the kernel module has been loaded? Do I need to do something with rc-udpate?

Thanks in advance.
