Adding open-vm-tools package to Fedora Atomic

2014-11-21 Thread Ravindra Kumar

Great - is there a *technical* (meaning non-policy) reason why Fedora's version of open-vm-tools doesn't support mounting host files in the guest? VMware does such a terrible job at tracking changes in the kernel source that I've given up on using it. And why is open-vm-tools installed by default

You'd need to reformat them to vmdk with 'qemu-img convert' first, I think. I got the Koji image to work on Windows 8.1 Client Hyper-V by using 'qemu-img convert' to convert it from qcow2 to vhdx. On a related note, is there a plan to build boot2atomic? Like Boot2Docker, only Atomic instead of
