see my plg file attached..

no special steps performed, just look at your boot/packages to delete previously compiled version(open-vm-tools-10.2.0-xxxx.tgz). if file exists, it will not compile it again until you update your unRAID version that changes Linux kernel.. then i copy plg file to flash root directory and choose install it from unRAID plugins section..

openVMTools_auto.plg

 

Just tried your plg and getting this below

plugin: installing: /boot/openVMTools_auto.plg

After fixing the  link, it compiles and still get  the error as everybody else before

My unRAID drives are XFS

 

Have you tried using a different USB port on your MB?

[Compiled Info: unRAID as Guest on ESXi]

Ever since i migrated from v5 to v6, my Virtualised Unraid keeps crashing:
Meaning:

• Gui stop responding
  
• SMB shares stop
  
• SSH stops
  
• ping works
  
• can login via VSphere client
  
• "Reboot" or "Shutdown -r" commandline fails to reboot the Unraid. it starts executing but just hangs
  
• Happens almost every second day
  

Anyone experiencing such? .. so frustrating..
 

Ok, i finally gave in and migrated my drives from ReiserFS to XFS and haven't had any issues since. Uptime of around 45 days +

which unRAID v6 version are you using?

mine is running fine with 6.1.9.

 

UnRaid all from V6 up to the latest one V6.2.3. are giving the same issues. every second day that problem pops up . All other VMs work fine except from UnRaid.

What ESXI versions are you guys using? I'm on v6 running on a X9SCM MB
