[CentOS-virt] vmware datastore mounted by NFS  Ted Miller

2010  I recently moved my vmware datastore from a local disk
partition to an  NFS share (in preparation for some other system
changes that are still  in progress).  In the init sequence,
vmware loads before the NFS share gets mounted, so  it checks
the datastore, and finds it empty.  Makes it hard to start a
VM. :(  As a temporary fix, I added the line service vmware
restart to rc.local, but I consider that a kludge.  I find in
rc3.d the files S19vmware and S25netfs.   1. If I change
S19vmware to S27vmware, that should bring up the NFS file
system before VMware starts, correct?  2. Are the NFS file
systems mounted at that point in init?  3. If I change the boot
order of vmware, will vmware change it back to  19 next time I
have to run vmware-config.pl?  Ted Miller Indiana, USA  More
