vmblock needs fuse enabled in the kernel. I'm not sure if it needs a
module or not, I know my kernels use fuse as a module.
If fuse is set in the kernel already, then app-emulation/open-vm-tools
is not built with the 'fuse' USE flag.
Bingo - thanks Daniel.
So... shouldn't this be considered a 'bug' then? If open-vm-tools
requires the fuse USE flag, it should be set by default.
