Hi,
It started to looks ugly :(
Still problem, but ...
I have 2 SCSI drives, and 1 IDE.
The system is on sda and sdb drives, hda is for storage of unfrequently 
needed things.
So, my /tmp is on /sdb3.
And, as I said,
xfs on sdb3 + vmware = vmware crash
ext2 on sdb3 + vmware = OK
but I tried to put it on another partition, the only free I have is sda4, 
and:
both xfs and ext2 on sda4 + vmware = OK.
So I supposed, there is some problem with the drive, so I ran badblocks -v 
-w, but it didn't found any errors.
And the only thing which crashes is vmware, all other stuff works 
perfectly.
So I think, that drive is OK.

Anyone has any ideas?

Regards,

Olaf
