vmsync(9)

vmsync9

Vmware kernel module

Usage

modprobe vmsync

Overview

This is a Linux kernel module. It isn't backed by a virtual hardware device, so it must be loaded manually. It is depended on by vmware-guestd(8), so ideally it should be loaded prior to starting vmware-guestd(8) (though vmware-guestd(8) can function without it). This module is used for freezing and thawing the filesystem.

Options

vmsync has no options.
