host OS: Mac OS X 10.9

guest OS: debian 7 (wheezy) 32/64-bit

version: VMwareTools-9.6.1-1378637

 

this is just an FYI:

 

I upgraded to Fusion 6.0.2 recently, and every time I tried to load any files via the hgfs shares, the files ended up being corrupted.  It would happen randomly; and sometimes I would end up doing the file transfer again, and everything was fine again.  At first, I thought it was my debian install going bad (I've been upgrading and carrying it over ever since I've used Fusion 5), so I re-installed debian from scratch, but I still got the same file corruption issues.  I figured it might have been the hgfs driver, so I tried downloading the previous version of vmware tools for linux for Fusion 6.0.1 (since there's no way to downgrade, you can grab them at: https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/6.0.1/1331545/packages/) and downgraded vmware tools on my debian guest server.  Now everything works fine again.
