Hi, I am using the OpenVM Tools that come with Debian 7 - Upstream Version  
2:8.8.0.
I posted my issues on the debian tracker, but one issue seems to be an  
upstream problem: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736812

To Quote:
"the vmtoolsd instances spawned by vmware-user-suid-wrapper dont handle  
SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 as they should.

The issue here is that you cant stop/start the vmblock filesystem as long
as anyone is using it. Supposedly you would send a signal to the user
daemons, telling them to give up any references to it - but its not
handled and instead the user daemon terminates."

In short, I got everything working with the fixes I outlined in the  
referenced report, but the vmblock "service" cant be stopped or restarted.

Kind Regards, Norbert
