Problem mounting ext3 VMDK images on Windows

linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hi, HOST: WinXP pro Virtualization: VMWare workstation (ubuntu) for source build I have one dedicated vmware partition for source build. I have a slow system so I want to mount the vmware build partition from windows so that code walkthrough and study stuff can be done from windows using source insight and other similar tools without vmware. I attempted to install the EXT2IFS driver on windows and mount the vmdk as a virtual drive using vmware-mount.exe z: "D:/my_vmw_img/source.vmdk" but it dosent seem to work. Windows wont recognize the filesystem on Z partition. Has anyone tried to do this, please let me know. I am beginning to believe that it is not possible for EXT filesystem on windows. Thanks in advance, (HowTos)

I have Samba shares on a Red Hat server vmware virtual machine. We just upgraded our vmware tools and vmware hardware to vsphere and now I can't authenticate to the samba shares. It prompts for credentials, but it won't take the login. Has anyone seen this or have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,

I got to the part where I'm supposed to partition Mint. I've got a 500GB hard drive, and I thought I'd give 300GB to LM--but I'm unclear about using ext2, 3 or 4. What about the swap file? Is that automatic?

Thanks,

Hello Forum,

I've become reliant on Net Objects Fusion for building and maintaining my web site. NOF is still only offered as a windows app and it is the only reason I have to keep Windows installed.

Can anyone propose a comparable application (preferably open source) that will run in Linux?

Thanks for ideas
