I've setup my machine to develop/maintain some Rails apps. And I've been encountering problems with the Shared Folder as the files seems not to sync properly between the host and the guest OS. Below are the details of what I'm doing. I've been finding a solution for weeks already.
Host OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
VMWare Player Version: 6.0.1 build-1379776
Guest OS: Ubuntu 12.04.04 LTS
WMWare Tools Version: 9.6.1.27366 (build-1378637)
Shared folder is inside my Documents folder (Windows) and it is shared as Projects (Ubuntu).
I'm doing edits and updates (edit and gits) in my host OS while I run it (Rails app) inside the guest OS. At first boot, the files are synced properly but after a couple of edits, the file gets corrupted inside the guest OS. Checking the file, it's either gets truncated or the file didn't show the updated edits.
For now, every time I do edits (doing it in bulk), I restart the guest OS just get them synced again.
I've been seeing this solution (Re: Slow/nonexistent sync for shared folders in VMWare Fusion 6.0.2) from different threads but the solution was for VMWare Fusion.
I hope somebody can shed light in this.
