  • 1.  vmware-mount floating point exception on 2nd mount 17.6-25H2

    Posted 5 days ago

    This problem does not occur with 17.5.

    vmware-mount -o ro my.vmdk 1 /mnt/p1
    vmware-mount -o ro my.vmdk 3 /mnt/p3
    Floating point exception

    My vmdk has FAT, swap, and ext4 partitions in that order.
    I can reverse the order of the partition mounts and it fails on second mount attempt. 

    I use vmware-mount -X after to clean up.

    Debian 13, Kernel 6.12.48+deb13-amd64

    Here's the end of an strace:

    I verified the same problem occurs with 25H2 on new install of Ubuntu-25.10, Kernel 6.17.0-5-generic.
