I am trying to use vmware-mount to mount a virtual disk.
I am running the command on my linux machine, trying to access a virtual disk on an ESX4
My basic command (and outcome) looks like this
~$ sudo vmware-mount -h 1.2.3.4 -u root "[Storage1] my_vm/my_vm.vmdk" /home/user/mnt/my_vm
Failed to mount disk '[Storage1] my_vm/my_vm.vmdk': The VMware fuse daemon failed to start
Another variation
~$ sudo vmware-mount -h 1.2.3.4 -u root "[Storage1] my_vm/my_vm.vmdk" /home/user/mnt/my_vm
Failed to open disk: Unknown error (1)
Failed to mount disk '[Storage1] my_vm/my_vm.vmdk': The VMware fuse daemon failed to start
Further investigation shows that if I use 1.2.3.5, a non-existing IP address, the exact error messages appear.
I don't really who the 'VMware fuse daemon' is, and couldn't find anything of the sort.
Any ideas ?
