I patched the code source from git to match my kernel, and started make install which work perfectly without a mistake, then used ldconfig to resolve library paths. But when i reboot, i cannot find processes of vmtoolsd, nor launched kernel modules, i tried to add vmtoolsd to init.d script but this process doesn't seem to do anything.\r\nFor exemple i tried to activate the log feature but without any services, i doubt changing the config file will do anything.\r\nWhat should i do to use the general features of open-vm-tools ? i am a little lost."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/comments/76444250","html_url":"https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/4#issuecomment-76444250","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/4","id":76444250,"user":{"login":"dyno","id":7204,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7204?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno","html_url":"https://github.com/dyno","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dyno/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-27T18:19:01Z","updated_at":"2015-02-27T18:19:01Z","body":"do you mean VixIOFreeze()?  that is trying to make VIX cooperate with quiesced snapshot so that it won't result in a deadlock. it's a little bit complicated, because tools main process is single-threaded event loop.\r\n1. host tells tools a quiesced snapshot is taking, so freeze disk io.\r\n2. if vix command comes in and trying to access the disk, the command will be waiting for io.\r\n3. because of 2, tools will not be able to response to unfreeze disk io and result deadlock and VM hang. \r\n\r\nother than quiesced snapshot, i don't think tools has any direct involvement in the snapshot process in general. but it will be notified to do some sync operation like sync time, after checkpoint resume (snapshot, migration, etc)  "}}
