[ale] VMWare ESX shared disk?

[Ashley Wilson]

I would be disinclined to set up file sharing on the ESX host os.  I recommend setting up a VM with NFS sharing, which ESX has a client built in for.  That way you can throttle the NFS server so if it starts acting crazy, it won't pig out on all of your resources.

Don't think share folder support is available on ESX.  Maybe try setting up 
a samba share?
