Remarks about VMware setup
NFS
Debian doesn's support the nfs noacl option. Build a new mount from source and put the following in /etc/rc.local:
# I built mount.nfs from source. # apt-get install libwrap0-dev libevent-dev libnfsidmap-dev pkg-config librpcsecgss-dev librpcsecgss-dev librpcsecgss3 libgssapi-dev libgssapi2 libblkid-dev libldap2-dev # wget http://www.sfr-fresh.com/linux/misc/nfs-utils-1.1.4.tar.gz # built from source with ./configure --enable-gss=no # and put utils/mount/mount.nfs in /usr/local/bin/ /usr/local/bin/mount.nfs disk:/tank/home /home -o noacl
