I'm new to open-vm-tools, until now I always took the source from the ESXi provided iso which contains vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz and compiled modules under vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source/ For stable/11, there's some adoption to do, so I thought it's a good time to try open-vm-tools. All my guests don't have X11, so I'm only testing the no-x11 version. vmmemctl.ko seems to work and vmtoolsd also seems to do it's job, I can shutdown the machine and viclient reports guest's IP adderss. I don't use vnx, I just can report that it attaches. But there are no drivers for vmci nor pvscsi in open-vm-tools also, right? What's vmblock.ko providing?

Hi I haven't tested your new tools but I needed to do the following in

I've updated the patch and packages in the same location and fixed a
number of issues. Please re-test if you can.
The only remaining issue that I know of is building with libunwind
installed. If you run into an issue buidling, uninstall libunwind.
Upstream is looking at that.
This is likely the final change before I commit this, which currently I
plan to do on 3/15. So if you use it, now is your chance to test and

Hi,
I'd like anyone possible to test an updated version of
emulators/open-vm-tools{,-nox11}. I have the patch here for those who
wish to build themselves:
https://people.freebsd.org/~swills/open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools-10.1.0.diff
And for those who wish to test using packages, I've built packages with
the new version and it's deps from the quarterly ports branch here:
https://people.freebsd.org/~swills/open-vm-tools/
with sub-directories for various FreeBSD versions and archs. There's
also a script which can help you configure the repo so that you can
install using pkg, here:
https://people.freebsd.org/~swills/open-vm-tools/ovmsetup.sh
Just grab the script, run it, then pkg install the open-vm-tools
package, or update it if you already have it installed. This is a bit of
a new testing method for me, so don't be surprised if there are some bumps.
I would be really nice see tests with both various versions of VMWare
ESXi, particularly ESXi 6.0 and 6.5, and also VMWare desktop products.
Any help testing would be appreciated. Even just a "worked OK for me" is
helpful.
One particular note about this version, it no longer includes vmhgfs.
Instead, there's support for using fuse to share files, though I haven't
found documentation on that yet.
So, if you can try it out, please do and let me know how it goes.
Thanks,
Steve

Because some of your source is r307013 and other parts of your src tree
has been updated to r31165. The M stands for "modified", which can mean
you have local patches, but in this case may just mean the whole tree
isn't at the same rev. I'm not completely sure at the moment.

No, that's odd. I built on r311854 and had no issue. Maybe you could see
if you see the same?

I tried to built it on

(why does it say r307013:311651M, btw?)

Any ideas ?
