NAME¶

vmsync - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS¶

modprobe vmsync

DESCRIPTION¶

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.
