Is this the only way to get VMWare and Linux on the same box to both have
access to a drive ? I don't use VMWare much, but I just tried to do
something the other day which involved working with some files I had and I
scratched my head for a moment, until I ftp'ed the files around. I imagine
that in fact Samba is the optimum way to go, because then only one OS is
writing to the disk partition, but I wondered was there any other way to do
it.
