Great :)
On my side, I completed the open-vm-tools package to be able to build and
install the open-vm-tools's kernel module. I have successfully tested the
vmhgfs.ko module by sharing a folder between the host and the guest.
I'm using a 3.2 kernel but the build is broken for recent kernel (I tried with a
3.14 kernel)
I applied most of the patches from debian, fedora and archlinux but I need
further testing.
Best regards,
Romain
