Description of problem: git encounters intermittent index corruption when updating the index. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): open-vm-tools-10.0.5-2.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch a Fedora 23 image on VMWare Fusion on a Mac 2. Mount a share using vmhgfs-fuse 3. Attempt two rapid updates of the index, e.g., two "git add" commands Actual results: An obscure error regarding corruption in the index. Expected results: Normal behavior. Additional info: This apparently has been reported less than a month ago; opening this bug to ensure that the fix will get picked up in Fedora once one is available. Links to the two relevant bugs: * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1579544 * https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/90
This will be fixed in the next update of open-vm-tools.
I noticed an update to open-vm-tools today in Fedora 23, so I installed and restarted my vm. However, I am still seeing the same index corruption behavior in git repositories, so this issue has not yet been fixed in open-vm-tools-10.0.5-3.fc23.x86_64. (I note I have not seen any updates to the above bugs, either, so I presume the upstream has not released a fix. In any case, if the -3 revision was intended to apply a patch to fix the issue, it was unsuccessful in fully resolving it.)
Oops, I meant to say next release of open-vm-tools upstream. Sorry for the confusion.
Do you have any idea when that may be?
(In reply to Kevin L. Mitchell from comment #4) > Do you have any idea when that may be? I'm afraid I won't be able to talk about that. However, the patch seems pretty easy and I will try to get it in Fedora next week instead of waiting for the open-vm-tools release which might take a while.
For the record, I upgraded my VM to Fedora 24 and tried using git with it. I found the same intermittent corruption bug with open-vm-tools-10.0.5-3.fc24.x86_64, though it's become a little more difficult to reproduce—previously, two consecutive "git add" operations within less than 5 seconds would trigger it, but now it seems a bit less predictable than that; indeed, my initial testing on a toy repository didn't encounter the problem at all, but subsequent work on a real repository did intermittently encounter the problem. Waiting eagerly for Ravindra's patch to get in :)
Is there any update on resolving this bug? Last I heard, Ravindra was going to try to upload a patch to open-vm-tools to resolve it, but I've not seen any updates that do. (Side note: I have updated to Fedora 24 since I reported this issue, and the issue is present in that version as well.)

Sorry for the delay Kevin. I was occupied with other stuff. I will try to prioritize it this week. Thanks for your understanding.
No worries; I understand about being occupied with other stuff :) Thanks for trying to prioritize it…
Just checking in. I know Ravindra has been busy, but this issue is being a hindrance to me, so I need to be the squeaky wheel and keep checking up on it…

Are there any updates regarding the resolution of this bug?
Sorry for the delay Kevin. Don't intend to commit anything but will try best to get to it this week. Thanks for your patience.
Just checking in on this. I've been otherwise occupied for the past month, but I had a reminder that this issue is still a problem for me. Any updates on resolving it?
Sorry for the delay, Kevin. I'm on it now. I should have something ready for by tomm. Thanks for your patience with this!
