hi

i think i need help

below a src.rpm for Fedora 15 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=276240
this is stripped down without all the gui/shared-folders-stuif and worked 
perfectly
some days ago

http://access.thelounge.net/harry/open-vm-tools-0.0.0.535097-26.fc15.20111203.rh.src.rpm

worked means:
* VDR backup successfull
* VDR probe-restore successfull
* VDR restore after destroy the guest with "rm -rf /" successfull
* VMware-HA sucessfull

well so for me the topic upgrade to Fedora 15 was done

yesterday i stared upgrade our build/admin-machine and the goldenmaster
all went fine, in the night from friday to saturday VMware-Data-Recovery
is scheduled for all machines - well the F15 guests failed

Dec  3 16:24:59 master vmsvc[1183]: [ warning] [vmbackup] Error freezing 
filesystems.
Dec  3 16:25:27 master vmsvc[1183]: [ warning] [vmbackup] Error freezing 
filesystems.
Dec  3 16:55:38 master vmsvc[1183]: [ warning] [vmbackup] Error freezing 
filesystems.
Dec  3 17:23:10 master vmsvc[1183]: [ warning] [vmbackup] Error freezing 
filesystems.
Dec  3 17:53:30 master vmsvc[1183]: [ warning] [vmbackup] Error freezing 
filesystems.

what i really do not undertsand is why the hell this worked a few days before
like a charme and now no way and there is no option in VMware-Data-Recovery
to make only a crash-consistent backup (AFAIK)

if they vmware-tools are not installed this is used automatically
but this is no option because VMware-High-Ability needs the alive-signal
of the guest

hopefully anybody can figure out what here happens since F14 is EOL and
i guess there are many users needing this which do not want the oversized
official tools from VMware with all the useless binary-modules

yes, i do not build sepearted lib(kmod-packages because it is easier
and kernel-updates will first installed on the buildmachine, after a
reboot the vmware-tools rebuilt for this kernel and from this point
on the new kernel and modules are distributed to all other machines
which have only the interal repos active
