Yes, this is not a problem, but in such case vmware call the setresuid syscall, which don't implemented in the Linux emulator. When you will run the VMware from root (when uid==euid), setresuid will be never called. > > I am seeing the same freezes.

I fill such freezes with linux as guest, but I never seen any disk activity in that time. I don't have access to vmware sources or to any other source of information, so I don't have any thinks about this freezes. > There is no paging or swapping going on > (as seen by FreeBSD), so I can only assume that something is happening > inside the virtual drive. Also vmware can write to the log file. You cat run truss at this time, when such kind of freezes happened (this provide the fd of target file), and than run fstat|grep 'fd', or much better lsof and you get the name of a target file. > But it is NOT NT doing that because > otherwise we'd see the IDE pseudo led on... > > Are there any people that run NT in vmware on a Linux box listening > here? If so: do the see the same disk activity? I hope that VMware on Linux doesn't have such kind of problem. -- Vladimir Silyaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
