Debian VMware Tools Stopping Network Early

From AstroArch

If NFS mounts hang on a Debian VM with VMware Tools installed there are two solutions.

  1. Use 'soft' not 'hard' mounts when doing the NFS mount. Soft will not hang the VM. I.e: 
 mount -o soft,rw foo@bar.com:/mount /mnt/mountpoint
  1. Change the order of the vmware-tools so that it happens after the network is killed.
