patch for vmware-workstation init-script
I would also like to see this fixed, but its a duplicate of bug 54269. But maybe we can get wolf31o2(please assign this bug to him) to accept this solution. Looks pretty good imho :) I checked bugzilla before creating this report and saw bug 54269. I don't agree with you that this a duplicate, because the proposed solution in the other bug is to create an (other) tarball to save the devices. This script just creates the devices when vmware-workstation starts and the devices are destroyed after a reboot. We want to accomplish the same thing but use different methods. Same bug, and regardless of the solution, we've already decided that its an upstream bug *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 54269 *** upstream says we should add for a in `seq 0 9`; do mknod /dev/vmnet$a c 119 $a; done at the top of /etc/init.d/vmware See this post from petr: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?forumID=19&threadID=8892&messageID=83028#75774 |
