 Quoting from Zao Yang (zyang@xxxxxxxxxx):
---------------------------------------------------

my home directory and the .vmware directory are on a XFS
filesystem. when I start vmware 2.0.3, it complains about not being able
to detect if file locking is supported on the filesystem. it wants me to
put the following line in the configuration file:

host.FSSupportLocking1 = 0x58465342

I tried that. but vmware still complains with same message. 

vmware used to work when my home directory is on ext2 filesystem. 

I also tried vmware 2.0.4 and had same problem. does anyone know where
the problems might be, and if vmware supports XFS?

--------------------------------------------------------------

 I run vmware 2.0.4 and have the same trouble. Any ideas?
 I had my vmware on Reiser before XFS and it worked ok.
  Thanks,
