Shared Folders not updating between Ubuntu 13.1 (host) and Ubuntu 12.04 (guest)

[ctives]

My host computer (Ubuntu 13.1) is sharing a folder with my VM (Ubuntu 12.04).  The guest VM is running a LAMP environment that has its web root directory pointing to the shared folder.  Whenever I edit any files within that shared folder on the host machine using my IDE, the changes are not being reflected on the VM.  If I reboot the VM then the changes appear.  It seems like the VM is caching the shared folder and is only refreshing on occasion.

Can anyone help me configure the VM to not cache or to always capture the changes when a file within the shared folder is updated?

Hello Ctives

Maybe this is known issue which is similar with https://communities.vmware.com/thread/462303

It is being investigated by Steve.

Thanks,

That looks exactly like the issue I am having. Hopefully this is fixed soon or I will have to try NFS as a workaround.
