Mount VMWare disk partitions 2 years 39 weeks ago

This is helpful if you want VMWare Player to use a raw disk that you can later mount & manipulate from /dev/loop* in your host machine - even with partitions or LVM's.

This will require you to compile & install a block device wrapper library cited in this how-to. You will have to consult the respective README & instructions for the two different libs cited.

i installed vmware tools yesterday and it was working perfectly fine. the reason for that is i needed to share a specific folder from the host OS to the guest OS.

today, i was baffled that the shared folder cannot be found in /mnt/hgfs/ so i went out to check the config for the vmware shared folder - it was grayed out and asked me to install vmware tools.
