This is worse than it might sound - I effectively erased one of my files by editing it :-(
I assume this affects all 4.x kernels. I'm running with 3.19 for now to avoid the problem
Happened to me as well. Luckily it was in a git repo on the host. I remember having had the same issue with some 3.19 version as well, but don't know the exact version anymore.
Updated to VMware Player 7.1.2 build-2780323 (including tools 9.9.3) Still the same issue.
Writing to a file seems to work inside the guest (Fedora), but the result does never appears in my host (Win).
echo Test > test.txt
cat test.txt # echos Test
The test.txt
in Win is empty though.
After reboot the same file is empty in the guest as well.
It looks like some intermediate buffer is never flushed.
Maybe this is related to #38 somehow.
Thanks for pointing that out, I updated to the new patch and it's working fine now.
Writing files via hgfs results in empty files in the host system. The files and folders are created, but all of them are empty.
