Actually, I am not thinking I need a filesystem for VMWare. I just wasn't sure whether the Windows Workstation VM would have to reside on a specific filesystem. My goal is to have a couple of Windows VMs with which to test connectivity to my apps and database. I thought that I would need to create an fs "winxp" of size "xxxxMb" and mount it. Then when I create my VM, I would create it on that fs. If I am in error, please let me know before I get too far and can't come back. Thanks!
