This commit in kernel 3.7 removed EXPORT_SYMBOL(putname) vfs: unexport getname and putname symbols https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=8e377d15078a501c4da98471f56396343c407d92
so look like we need an update to vmware-modules
I've committed a patch into vmware overlay. Would you care to test it? Thanks.

(In reply to comment #6) > patch works. modprobe vmblock I moved patch to the main tree. Thanks.
This patch could do with applying to 264.4, for all the workstation-8 users...
