I'm running Vmware 3.1.1 under linux. In my virtual machine I'm running Windows XP. I have a real fat partition on my hard drive that I use for sharing docs between linux and windows. The fat partition is also connected to the virtual machine with write caching disabled. The problem is this: while I can write to the drive in WinXP and have linux see these files, the other way around is not working. When I write files to the partition from linux, the only way to get my virtual machine to see them is to reboot it (the virtual machine that is). Anybody have experience dealing with this? Any ideas?
