NAME

       vmblock - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS

       modprobe vmblock

DESCRIPTION

       This  is a kernel filesystem module. Ideally, it should be loaded before any of the Tools userlevel components are allowed to start, though
       vmblock itself has no dependencies. When loaded, vmblock will establish itself in /proc/fs/vmblock and create two nodes	therein,  dev  and
       mountPoint. Before mounting a vmblock filesystem, ensure that /tmp/VMwareDnD exists as a directory with permissions 1777, otherwise host to
       guest drag n' drop operations won't work.

       To mount, issue:

	    mount -t vmblock none /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint

       Once mounted, vmware-user(1) can begin to make use of vmblock to assist with DnD operations. Note that  while  vmware-user(1)  is  running,
       it'll  keep  an	open  file  descriptor on /proc/fs/vmblock/dev, and thus all vmware-user(1) instances must be killed to unmount and unload
       vmblock.

OPTIONS

       vmblock has no options.
