    Hi,

    I just converted a Linux virtual machine from VMware to Parallels 7. I have three shared folders from my OS X (Lion) host system linked into the vm.

    The guest system is a Debian unstable. The Parallel Tools installed fine and as far as I can see, everything works flawlessly. But I have one strange problem I couldn't solve yet.

    The uid and gid of the shared folders are very strange.

    my /media/psf looks like this:

    As you can see, the gid is really weird. I tried to set it manually in fstab but it seems to be ignored for shared folders. The /media/psf get's the correct user and group though.

    My fstab looks like this:

    uid is user "thomas" and gid is my "www-data" group. I already tried to change the gid on the host side, but that had no effect at all. The user group is always this ridiculous large number.

    Is there a working solution to set the gid for the shares?

    Thanks,
    Thomas
