I am getting Illegal Seek errors on files in a shared folder on an Ubuntu Linux 11.04 guest running on a Windows 7 64-bit host with VMware Workstation 7.1.4. However, the exact same operations work on a shared folder in Ubuntu Linux 11.04 guest running on another Windows 7 64-bit host with VMware Workstation 7.1.2. Seems like a bug in VMware Workstation 7.1.4 or the bundled VMware Tools. Both my systems are running on a disconnected network (not online), so VMware Tools are the ones that are bundled with VMware Workstation and have not been updated. Am planning to experiment by downgrading the 7.1.4 system to 7.1.2 and reinstalling VMware Tools in the guest, to see if that solves the problem, or by copying vmware tools from the 7.1.2 system and installing them manually in the guest on the 7.1.4 system.
