    I'm seeing filesystem corruption issues since upgrading to Parallels 10 (Windows 7 guest OS).

    I've managed to replicate the problem in a simple way:
    - create a text file on the Windows volume
    - edit that text file (I'm using vim) on the OSX host
    - write the file. I get the error "this file has been modified since it was last written!" (this is Vim signaling that Something Is Wrong)
    - load the file from disk again. It contains a corrupted version of the old and new versions of the file.

    I can guarantee that vim isn't introducing this corruption, so there's definitely some filesystem wonkiness going on.

    Immediately after my upgrade to Parallels 10, I noticed that a CAD program on the Windows side (Rhino) could no longer open files hosted in a Dropbox on the OSX host side (it could do so before the upgrade). This suggests to me that the filesystem corruption is bidirectional.

    ditto

    I am seeing the exact same issue with just about the same setup
    - windows 7 guest
    - filesystem shared to the mac
    - try to edit a text file using vim on the mac, and it results in the last few lines of the file being repeated or garbled.

    No idea yet how to fix it.
